Gas smell or carbon monoxide alarm: leave first

Smell gas? Do not use the booking form, light switches or phones inside. Leave the building now, then call 911 and your gas utility’s emergency line [VERIFY LOCAL GAS UTILITY EMERGENCY NUMBER] from outside.

If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, get everyone outside and call 911. Never ignore a gas smell or a CO alarm, and never attempt DIY gas work.

Gas emergency

What should I do if I smell gas?

  1. Leave the building now. Get everyone out, including pets.
  2. Do not use anything that can spark: light switches, phones, appliances, lighters or the garage door opener.
  3. Call 911 and your gas utility from outside, at a safe distance: [VERIFY LOCAL GAS UTILITY EMERGENCY NUMBER].
  4. Do not go back in until responders say it is safe.
  5. Then call for the repair. A licensed gas fitter fixes the house-side piping once the utility has made it safe.
