Keep vehicles and apparatus parked upwind, out of the path of the leak and 50 to 200 feet away. Do not use spark-producing equipment, and discourage its use by others. Use only intrinsically safe radios and flashlights during the incident response.

Extinguish cigarettes, e-cigarettes and vape pens. Do not use any phones, electric switches, doorbells, thermostats or appliance controls. All of these devices, including battery-operated equipment, can cause sparks and ignite natural gas. Avoid creating static electricity; do not step on doormats or shuffle across carpet.
