What should I do if I smell gas?

If you detect the smell of gas, it is important to take immediate action to ensure your safety. First, do not use any electrical appliances, light matches, or create any sparks, as this could potentially ignite the gas. Instead, leave the area as swiftly and safely as possible, making sure to alert anyone else in the vicinity. After exiting the building, find a safe location away from the premises and do not re-enter until it has been deemed safe. You should also notify local authorities or emergency services about the gas smell. While Dayton Power & Light Co does not handle gas service, they may provide resources or information relevant to gas safety. It is advisable to check the current website for further guidance or contact information for local gas companies and emergency services. Do not overlook the gravity of a gas smell, as it can pose serious health and safety risks. Remaining vigilant and informed about gas safety is essential.
