can you recognize and react to a natural gas leak?
|
If you smell gas inside your home or business, leave the premises immediately, do not call from your home, don’t turn on or off any electrical switches, do not attempt to air out the building. If you are on the phone, do not hang it up, lay it down and call the gas department from another phone at a safe distance. Remain away from the premises until emergency personnel have given you the OK to return. Never try to make repairs to stop a gas leak as you could possibly make the situation worse and cause possible damage, injury or death. Please do not hesitate to call your local natural gas department if you even think that what you smell may be gas. It is better to be safe.
