• Fire blankets are inexpensive, easy to use, and they’re a great addition to your kitchen. By simply pulling the tabs to open the blanket, you can smother a small fire.

• If you decide to invest in a small fire extinguisher for your home, make sure to choose the right type for the intended use. 

• You should also install smoke alarms in your home.

• If your clothing happens to catch fire, be sure to “stop, drop and roll” until the flames have been extinguished entirely.

Detecting a

gas leak

​

In its natural state, LPG is an odourless and colourless gas.

An odourant is added to make it easier to detect leaks.

​

If you can smell gas, check:

​

1. Whether any pilot lights on your appliances have gone out. 

2. If any burners on your stove are accidently turned on 

3. The connections to your gas bottle, gas appliances and equipment 

4. If your gas cylinder is close to empty – the gas at the bottom may smell stronger (even if it isn’t leaking).

Gas bottle installation regulations

Gas bottles are placed in specific locations with set clearance zones designed to keep you and your property safe.

​

So what are the key things to watch for?

​

As you can imagine there are loads of variables, but the K-Gas Portable Cylinder installation guide will step you through the process.

 

Just remember LPG is heavier than air if there is a leak, gas bottles need to be kept away from any ground openings like drains or pits.
