If the problem can wait until morning, say so. A switch that sticks or a light that flickers is annoying, and it is usually a daytime job. Sparks, a burning smell, or a panel that is hot should go through theemergency electrician page for Salmon Arm.

Before we arrive

Leave the panel cover on. If a breaker trips again the moment you reset it, leave that breaker off. Do not keep resetting it.
If you smell burning plastic, or you see sparks or a scorch mark, stay out of that room. Call. If you see flame or heavy smoke, leave the building and call 911.
You can switch off the main breaker only if the floor is dry and you do not have to open the cover to reach it. Do not stand in water and touch a panel.
A downed power line is a BC Hydro and 911 call. Stay at least 10 metres back. BC Hydro's outage line is 1-800-224-9376. If you smell gas, leave and call 911 and FortisBC at 1-800-663-9911.
