What if I smell propane? (Propane has an unpleasant smell such as rotten eggs):

• Immediately put out all smoking materials and other open flames. A spark could cause an explosion or fire.
• Shut off the gas, turn off the main gas supply valve on your propane tank if it’s safe to do so.
• Report the leak, call your propane retailer away from the leak. If you can’t reach your retailer, call 911 or your local fire department.
• Don’t return to the building or area until your propane retailer, emergency responder or qualified service technician says it’s safe to do so.
• Get your system checked. Before you attempt to use any of your propane appliances, make sure a professional checks your entire system to ensure that it’s free of leaks.
