You can't. Working LIVE has inherent risks, and unless you are
sufficiently experienced with electrical work, should not be done.

Call an electrician. I mean, you have to draw the line somewhere, and
working LIVE is a good place to draw the line. If for some reason
getting an electrician is currently impossible, then get yourself a
battery operated smoke detector until you can get an electrician.
