Our propane team has compiled a few tips to help you stay safe over the next few months. Please keep these in mind—especially when coping with violent thunder-and-lightning storms during the spring and summer seasons.
- Discuss an emergency plan with your family—including instructions on how to turn off propane systems during a power outage.
- Once the storm passes, check your appliances for water or other damage. Never turn on a light switch, use a power source or inspect your appliances while you are standing in water. You run the risk of electrocution.
- Ask us to inspect your appliances if you believe they have been damaged.
- Don’t operate outdoor appliances and generators in enclosed spaces—you could be in danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.
- If you smell propane in your house, leave immediately and call for help.
