What should I do if I smell gas?

If you smell gas, it is important to act quickly and safely. Leave the area immediately and avoid using anything that could create a spark, such as phones, light switches, or appliances. Do not try to locate the source of the leak or turn on or off any gas valves. Once you are at a safe distance, call the appropriate emergency number to report the leak. It is important to alert others in the area to evacuate as well. A professional will need to come to inspect and address the leak to ensure the safety of everyone in the vicinity.
