Heaters are kicking on across the Four Corners, so here's a quick refresher from the folks who work with natural gas every day. π₯
The natural gas that reaches your home has no smell on its own. An odorant is added so a leak smells like rotten eggs, on purpose, so you'll notice it.
If you smell it:
πͺ Get everyone out right away, pets too
π΅ Don't flip switches, light anything, or use your phone inside
π Once you're outside and away from the house, call 911 and your gas company
One more thing for anyone who hunts, hikes or drives lease roads: gas in field lines near wellsites isn't always odorized. Out there, a hissing or blowing sound is your warning. Leave the area and call it in.
