Luckily I wasn't cooked

Today as usual I cleaned my fan. I was rubbing and scrubbing off the dirt from the gaps on the plastic cover using a damp cloth. Suddenly there was a small spark on the bundle of cuprum wires and the light went off. The main power tripped. Everything was dark for a moment and things gone back to normal after my housemate switched on the main power again. I was still stunned. I began to rub again and my housemate ran up and asked if I am alright.

He thought I was cooked.
