Call the fire department and ask them for suggestions?

I was sat in my basement the other night and there was an electrical
burning smell. One of those swirly fluorescent light bulbs started to
flicker.
Over a 10 minute period the flickering got worse until the thing died. The
screw in part (not the glass) was very hot and I could not touch it. I
thought they were supposed to last 15 years !!!
