Important Propane Safety Information

Propane is a safe and versatile energy option, and many homeowners and business owners rely on propane for its reputation for efficiency and safety. However, we would like to share important information with our customers that can help significantly lower the risk of propane-related hazards.

What to Do If You Smell Gas

Put out any smoking materials or open flames.
Do not turn any light switches or electronic devices ON or OFF. (This includes cell phones!)
Inform other inhabitants and leave the building.
Turn off your main gas supply, ONLY if it is safe to do so.
Report a leak by calling 911 or contacting Casey’s Oil & Propane at (401) 848-5945. Use a landline or your cell phone far away from the area.
ONLY return to the building if your propane company, emergency responder, or service technician says that it is safe.
