Emergency Tips

In the event that an appliance catches on fire or if something in/on the appliance is on fire, you should NOT throw water on it. Instead, use a fire extinguisher or baking soda to douse the flame. If the fire is too large to contain, immediately exit the house and call 911 for emergency backup.

If you smell gas (which often smells like rotten eggs) do not use your appliances. Shut off the appliance. If the smell dissipates, do not use the appliance and call your appliance repair provider. If the smell persists, or if you were not actively using the appliance when smelling gas, exit your home and immediately call for assistance from your gas company and/or 911.
