What should I do if I smell gas?

Asked a year ago
If you smell gas, it is important to act quickly and follow these steps: 1. Leave the area immediately and go to a safe location outside. 2. Do not turn any electrical devices on or off, or use anything that could create a spark. 3. Call Xcel Energy or your local gas company from a safe distance away to report the smell. 4. Do not try to locate the source of the gas leak yourself. 5. Wait for a professional to arrive and assess the situation. Your safety is the top priority, so take any gas smell seriously and do not hesitate to evacuate the area.
