We recommend familiarizing yourself with basic propane safety. The Propane Education & Research Council has created some great informative videos and flyers for quick lessons and refreshers!
Do you have a propane gas leak?
- Propane has a strong, unpleasant odor similar to rotten eggs or a skunk’s spray
- This odorant is added intentionally to help identify propane leaks
If you think you smell propane:
Remove any ignition sources from the area
- Put out any open flames or smoking material
- Distance any appliances or sources that could create a spark
Vacate the area
- Remove everyone from the building or area where you suspect a leak
Shut off the flow of gas
- If you are able, shut off the main gas supply valve on your propane tank
- Turn the valve clockwise to close
Report the leak
- From a safe location, call Provanta to report the leak at 814-676-8300
- Call 911 or your local fire department
Keep the area clear
- Do not return to the area until your propane service technician or emergency responder says it is safe to do so
Have your system checked
- Before using your system, be sure your propane service technician does a complete inspection and ensures it is safe to resume use
