Nobody likes surprises—especially when it comes to propane. If you ever catch a whiff of gas or think there might be a leak, here’s what to do: 1?? Step outside. Don’t mess with switches or anything that could spark—just head to a safe spot. 2?? Turn off the gas (if you can safely get to the tank). 3?? Give us a call. From a safe location, reach out to UFC or your propane supplier right away. You can find our emergency numbers by location here: https://lnkd.in/gFztPqFx 4?? Stay put until the pros say it’s all clear. https://ufcmn.com/energy/
