We consider the topic of non-contact electric burning (arcing burns) and secondary electric burning events. Our Electrical Engineering students and our Biomedical Engineering students learn from these real-life cases both the proper protocols to follow for electric safety as well as the basic Physics behind electric burning events. Protocols involve the use of the NEC (National Electric Code) to define safe procedures for the implementation of even the simplest electric circuit. Real-life cases involve electric fires and arcing, as well as water-induced fires and power line burns to humans
