If you smell a gas leak, what should you do?

Go in to investigate the source
Evacuate the area immediately
Call a professional before entering
Don't go in or get out!

The correct answer is: Don't go in or get out!

In the event of a gas leak, the first priority is safety. The correct response is to not enter the area where the gas smell is detected, as doing so could expose you to dangerous levels of gas, which can be toxic or even explosive. It’s essential to maintain a safe distance from the potential source of the leak to avoid any risk of injury. The action of evacuating the area immediately is crucial, but it must be done safely without approaching the leak. Once you are a safe distance away, you can alert the relevant authorities or professionals who are equipped to handle gas leaks, ensuring that the situation is managed appropriately and safely. Entering the area or investigating can lead to harmful consequences. Thus, remaining safe and preventing further exposure is the proper protocol.
