If you detect a gas smell, act immediately to protect your home and family from explosion risks.

Recognizing a Gas Leak

Natural gas is odorless but additives give it a distinctive sulfur-like smell.

Hissing sounds near gas appliances or meters also indicate leaks.

Immediate Actions to Take

Do not operate electrical switches or appliances that might spark.

Evacuate everyone from the premises and call emergency services from a safe distance.

Avoid Common Mistakes

Never attempt to find or repair gas leaks yourself.

Do not use phones or lighters inside the building.

Preventing Gas Emergencies

Regular inspections and servicing of gas appliances reduce risk.

Install carbon monoxide detectors for additional protection.
