Smoke coming from an electrical outlet — Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland
Smoke or a burning smell from an electrical outlet is a fire emergency that demands immediate action. It usually means wiring behind the outlet has overheated due to a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or damaged insulation. Turn off the breaker that serves the outlet and call a licensed electrician — do not attempt to use or inspect the outlet yourself, as arcing inside the wall can re-ignite even after power is cut.
