Is it safe to leave a broken outlet or is it better to turn off the electricity?
Good afternoon! Turned on the lamp today in the socket. The lamp in the lamp burst, and the outlet stopped working. While there is no way to call an electrician. I'm leaving for a week. I pulled all the cords from the outlet. Please tell me whether it is necessary to turn off the electricity in the apartment until the outlet is fixed or can I do nothing? A week later, upon returning, I plan to call an electrician.

Hello! In general, you can turn it off, but you can not turn it off. This cannot be determined without inspection of the outlet and wiring. One can only assume that everything that could burn out has already burned out, so, most likely, you can leave the electricity on. But it is better for safety to disconnect everything before the arrival of an electrician.
