What should I do if I smell gas? If you smell gas, the following information is instructions from Avista’s website: Don’t do anything that could create a spark. Smoking, matches, turning electrical switches on or off, even using the telephone could start a fire. Evacuate everyone from the area, and keep others away. Call 911 and Avista at (800) 227-9187 from a neighbor’s home. Stay away from your home or building until Avista says it is safe. Never try to fix a damaged natural gas line or restrict gas flow in any way. Avista needs to inspect the line.
Can I operate my gas fireplace, stove, or insert during a power outage? Generally speaking, YES! You can operate your gas fireplace, insert, or freestanding stove during a power outage – depending on how your unit ignites or turns on. Many new units have a battery back up so that the ignitor or burner will spark if the power is out. You can read your owner’s manual for more information on your specific fireplace.
