According to reliable statistics, electrical fire ignition sources have a notable impact regarding the generation of fires and explosions. Electrical equipment and installations can also be the victims of fire. This is due to the wearing of insulation, the reduction of dielectric strength of the air and other factors. This combination opens up a space for a wide range of experimental and educational research which until now has seen little development. The state of the art of electrical fire is introduced illustrating it with electro technical laboratory experiments as well as with real story cases. The electric arc which produces the ejection of hot particles is one of the electrical fire ignition sources, has seen little investigation. The development of experiments can help in finding out more about this phenomenon. A case study by the fire department of Catalonia can be used as an explanation, which suggests that there is a direct relationship between ventilation and air conditioning ducts made of aluminum and electrical ignition. The phenomenon electrical breakdown in gases has a special characteristic in the presence of fire. It has an effect on electricity supply, fire extinguisher security, fire investigations and the fire spread. This has brought about experiments to illustrate the point. The experiments are related with the behavior of high voltage power lines in presence of fire in our environment
