What counts
What counts as an electrical emergency
An electrical emergency is a problem that can cause a fire or a shock right now. Leave the building and call 911 first if you see smoke, flames or sparks.
- A burning smell from a panel, outlet or switch
- A panel or breaker that is hot to the touch
- Buzzing or crackling inside a wall or panel
- Water on or near live wiring
- Half the home dead while the street has power
SCE or an electrician?
SCE handles lines, poles, the service drop and the meter. An electrician handles everything after the meter: the panel, breakers, wiring and devices.
Shutoffs and fires
After a power shutoff or wildfire
SCE can turn off power during high fire risk in a Public Safety Power Shutoff. When power returns, check for tripped breakers, dead GFCI outlets and devices hit by the surge.
The Mountain Fire in November 2024 reached Camarillo Heights. After any nearby fire, have wiring checked before power is turned back on. Heat melts meter bases and outdoor wiring even when the house still stands.
A generator used during a shutoff must connect through a transfer switch or interlock. See generator installation in Camarillo.
What to do while you wait
- Turn off the main breaker if it is safe to reach
- Keep people away from wet areas
- Unplug sensitive electronics
- Do not reset a breaker that trips right away
After the call
When the fix is a new panel
Many urgent calls end at the panel. A melted bus or a failed old breaker means replacement. Read about Federal Pacific panel replacement or go back to the Camarillo electrician page.

You can call (815) 456-4349 any time. We connect you with an electrician who takes urgent jobs when one is available. We cannot promise a time until an electrician confirms.
My breaker trips every time I reset it. What should I do?
Leave it off. A breaker that trips right away points to a short or a failing breaker. Unplug devices on that circuit and call an electrician.
Who restores power after an SCE shutoff?
SCE restores the grid. If your home still has dead circuits after the street has power, call an electrician.
