-Turn off the source of electricity, if possible. If not, move the source away from you and the person, using a dry, nonconducting object made of cardboard, plastic or wood. -Begin CPR if the person shows no signs of circulation, such as breathing, coughing or movement. -Try to prevent the injured person from becoming chilled. -Apply a bandage. Cover any burned areas with a sterile gauze bandage, if available, or a clean cloth. Don't use a blanket or towel, because loose fibers can stick to the burns.
