Smell Gas at Home? Here's What to Do Right Away

If you smell gas (a distinctive sulfur-like odor deliberately added to LPG to alert you) inside your home, act quickly and calmly following these steps.

First: don't ignite anything. Don't flip light switches, don't use your phone inside the room, and don't light a match or lighter — any electrical spark or flame can ignite leaked gas.

Second: close the cylinder valve immediately if you can safely reach it.

Third: open windows and doors to ventilate, and get everyone in the home outside.

Fourth: from a safe spot outside, call Civil Defense at 998 if the smell persists or is strong, then contact us to check the cylinder and connections.

Don't attempt to fix a leak yourself or keep using the cylinder until it's been inspected and confirmed safe.
