What To Do If You Smell Gas

Always leave the premises immediately and call WBNG @ 256-974-9023.

Some important rules to follow when evacuating:

1. Don't try to locate the gas leak
2. Keep everyone away from the area of the odor
3. Open all doors and windows if you can do so quickly and easily
4. Don't turn lights on or off or unplug electrical appliances
5. Don't smoke or strike any matches
6. Don't use telephone or any electrical equipment that might create a spark in the area of the odor
7. Stay away from the house or location in question-until it is declared safe to return by Wheeler Basin Natural Gas Company.

Safety Checklist for Lighting Appliances

1. Make sure your Natural Gas Appliances are clean of dust and debris, and there is proper clearance between heater and curtains, furniture, or anything that obstructs proper function of the appliances.
2. After lighting the appliance, make sure it has a good burning pilot light with a sharp blue flame
3. If you have un-vented Natural Gas Logs, make sure the damper on the chimney is closed and the pilot is clean.  With vented Natural Gas logs, make sure the chimney is clean and the damper is open and again the pilot is clean.
