We use gas in both Wagram and Citeaux apartments. For your safety, it’s important to know how to respond to any gas-related emergencies at home.


πŸ›‘ First and foremost – stay safe!

If you smell gas (a strong, sulfur-like odor), follow these steps immediately:

  1. πŸͺŸ Open all windows and doors – Ventilation is key.

  2. β›” Cut off the gas supply – Do not touch any gas appliances or switches.

  3. πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ Leave your home – Quickly and calmly evacuate.

  4. πŸ“’ Warn your neighbors – In case they are also affected.

⚠️ Important reminders

  • Do not use electrical equipment or light switches.

  • Do not smoke or use open flames.

  • Do not stay inside to investigate β€” leave that to professionals.

Even if the smell disappears after airing out, still report the incident. It’s better to be safe and let professionals handle it.
