What to do if you smell gas

 

As per the state's suggested recommendations ( Source: www.heatingmyhome.org/home-heating-safety.html )

 

Step 1: If you detect a "rotten egg" smell evacuate the premises and contact your local fire department and propane supplier. Do not touch any electrical outlets, light switches or appliances

Step 2: Extinguish all open flames and immediately leave the area. Never use an open flame to test for propane leaks

Step 3: Go to your propane system's storage vessel and close the vapor service valve.

Step 4: Avoid the lowest points in a room. Propane is heavier than air and will move to these areas.

Step 5: Have your propane system checked if you have any of the following symptoms: headaches, dizziness, loss of muscular control, vomiting, or watering of the eyes
