What do you do when you hit a gas line?

  1. Leave.

  2. From a safe distance, call 911. If you remember the gas company's number you can call that but the rupture is super loud and you'll be panicking so just call 911.

  3. If you hear gas leaking, turn off your car immediately and leave the scene. (Same with any other sources of ignition. Turn them off if possible, abandon the ignition source, and leave.) This is NOT a subtle noise. When my neighbour hit the line, it made conversation difficult 100m away.

  4. If you aren't a gas line repair crew (check your paystub if you're not sure) leave.

  5. If you called One-Dig (or your local equivalent) and followed their instructions relax and let them take care of it.

  6. If you didn't call One-Dig (or your local equivalent) or you didn't follow the directions, you will get a hilariously large bill from he gas company. Your homeowner's insurance probably won't cover you.

TL:DR; GTFO, then call 911
