Smell gas in a building: what to do first

I smell gas or suspect a gas leak

Emergency
This may be an emergency. Do not use light switches, phones, or anything that could spark. Leave the building immediately, and from a safe distance outside call 911 and your gas utility's emergency line. Do not schedule any inspection until the utility has confirmed the leak is dealt with.

After the emergency

Once everyone is safe and responders have cleared the building, we can help find the cause and handle any required inspection and filing.
