Larchmont Fire Department
Natural Gas Safety!
Smell Gas. Act Fast.
● Smell — Natural gas smells like rotten eggs.
● Gas — If gas is in the air, a spark could cause an explosion. Don’t light a match, smoke, flip a switch, ring a doorbell, or touch appliances or electronics, including phones.
● Run — If you think there’s a leak, get everyone outside right away. If the leak is outside, move to a safe spot far away.
● Call — When you’re safe, call 911, or Con Edison 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633). National Grid customers call 1-718-643-4050. Call even if the odor isn’t very strong. Don’t assume someone else has already called. You don’t have to give your name.
