IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON PROPANE SAFETY

YOU GET CONVENIENCES AND ENERGY COST SAVINGS WITH PROPANE...That's why millions of homes, farms and businesses choose propane for heating, water heating, motor fuel, etc.  As a valued customer, we want you to know how to properly use propane.  It is a flammable fuel that may explode if not properly handled.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, PROPANE HAS AN ODOR ADDED SO YOU CAN DETECT LEAKS...
You and each member of your family must know the smell of propane.  Ask your serviceman to demonstrate its odor.  If anyone in your household cannot smell propane, or it smells weak, call us immediately.  Propane is heavier than air and will collect at floor level.  Carefully smell at floor level and in low spots to check for propane.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS OR SUSPECT A LEAK...
1. Put out all smoking materials and any other open flames.
2. Do not operate any appliances, switches or thermostats.
3. Get everyone outside and away from gas equipment.
4. Shut off the gas supply, using the shut-off valve at the tank or cylinder.
5. Call your propane supplier - use your neighbor's phone - if gas smell is in the house.
6. Stay outside and leave the gas off until the leak has been found and fixed.
