Indoor Gas Leaks: Control Ignition Hazards

Do not use spark-producing equipment during the incident response. Use only intrinsically safe radios and flashlights.

Extinguish cigarettes, e-cigarettes and vape pens. Do not do anything that could create a spark and ignite the gas. This includes ringing doorbells, using garage door openers and turning electric switches on and off. Do not step on doormats or shuffle across carpet. Friction from your boots could generate a spark of static electricity.

Call your dispatcher to alert the electric utility if the situation warrants a discontinuation of electric service to a building.
