If You Smell Gas
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.

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.
