If a gas leak is suspected or if the fire spreads on a cylinder, what else could be done? Think it over.

Answer

If you are convinced that there is a gas leak, disconnect electricity from outside the home (switch off the main switches). Switch off the regulator and shift the cylinder to an empty space. Keep the windows and doors open. Request help from the Fire Force by calling in the toll free number
108. Well trained rescue operators can put out the fire by covering the top end of the cylinder with wet sack to prevent the contact with oxygen. If the fire is in flat or the top storey, then one should not try to escape using lifts. Only staircase should be used. Cover the nose and the mouth with soft cloth to avoid the intake of smoke
or gases.
