It is important to properly respond to every incident. If a fuel gas alarm sounds, you smell gas, or otherwise suspect a leak, treat it as an emergency and do the following:
- Put out all smoking materials and other open flames.
- Do not operate lights, appliances, telephones, or mobile phones.
- Leave the area immediately, and get everyone else out of the area.
- Shut off the gas at the tank or main supply valve if it’s safe to do so.
- Report the leak once you’re safely evacuated by calling Idaho County Propane (ICP) at (208) 983-0597. If you can’t reach them, call 911.
- Do not return to the building or area until the fuel gas provider or emergency responders say it’s safe to do so.
- Don’t turn the fuel gas supply back on until it’s been inspected by a qualified person.
