What should I do if I experience a gas leak?

Asked 5 months ago
If you suspect a gas leak, it is important to take immediate action for your safety. First, you should leave the area right away and ensure that others do the same. Avoid using any electrical devices, including lights, as they could create a spark. Do not attempt to locate the source of the leak, and refrain from using lighters or matches in the vicinity. Once you have reached a safe distance, contact the appropriate authorities or gas company. DTE Energy has protocols in place for handling gas leaks, ensuring that professionals can assess and resolve the situation effectively. It is best to report any strong odors of natural gas or hissing sounds promptly. For the most current information on what steps to take and whom to contact in your area, visiting DTE Energy's official website may provide the necessary resources and assistance. Your safety is the top priority in these situations.
