If You Smell Gas
A dryer exhaust system carries combustion gases including carbon monoxide out of the home, so HUD rates a detached, missing or blocked dryer exhaust as a life-threatening deficiency; a CO alarm in the laundry area is recommended with gas dryers.

If you smell gas strongly or are unsure, leave the building and call the gas company or 911 once you are outside; do not use light switches, appliance controls, phones near the odor, or anything that could spark.
