Be very careful poking around inside a circuit breaker or fuse panel. Not only is there the usual shock hazard, but another serious hazard called "Arc blast". You've seen sparks when a short happens, but most of those had limited small amounts of power behind them. But the feed from the power company to your house has a very large amount of power available to a short circuit. Enough to melt and vaporize say a screwdriver shaft. And you really don't want your face anywhere near that.
