If you smell gas…

• Extinguish all smoking materials and turn off any open flames or sources of ignition.
• Vacate the building or vehicle immediately.
• Do not use any electrical switches, appliance thermostats or telephones in the affected area.
• Turn your main gas shutoff valve to the off position.
• Call your local propane supplier from a cell phone or neighbor’s phone. If you cannot reach your propane supplier, call the fire department.
• Stay outside and leave the gas off until the leak has been found and fixed.
• Let the service person or the firefighters check for propane gas leaks. Have them air out the area before you return.
• Have properly trained propane service people repair any leak, then check and relight all gas appliances for you. Even if you do not continue to smell propane, do not turn on the supply valve until a qualified propane service technician or emergency personnel tests for escaped propane. NEVER test for propane using an open flame. Only suitable leak detection devices should be used.
