- Leave the house right away with people and pets.
- Do not switch lights on or off, use phones inside, or start cars in the garage.
- From a safe distance, call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line.
- Do not go back in until the utility or fire department says it is safe.
- Then call a plumber to repair the gas line.
