No one wants a fuel leak, but every homeowner should be prepared. Follow these steps in the event you smell gas.
Immediately put out all smoking materials and other open flames. Do not operate lights, appliances, telephones, or cell phones. Flames or sparks from these sources can trigger an explosion or fire.
Open windows and doors to allow the gas to dissipate.
Get everyone out of the building or area where you suspect gas is leaking.
From a neighbor’s home or other nearby building away from the gas leak, call your propane retailer right away. If you can’t reach your propane retailer, call 911 or your local fire department.
Stay away from the building or area until your propane retailer determines that it is safe to do so.
Before you attempt to use any of your propane appliances, have your propane retailer or a qualified service technician check your entire system to ensure that it is leak-free.
