Xolile Khumalo, a spokesperson for the City of Johannesburg's Emergency Management Services (EMS) shared some tips with Briefly News on handling a gas fire.

"If there is a fire alarm in the building you live in, raise the alarm. Evacuate the building, contact EMS and provide the right location and information regarding the type of gas involved in the incident and the quantity. It's also advised to always check your pipes, gas bottles and appliances constantly," she said.

"Ensure that there are no leaks on the connection and cylinder. Switch the gas off from the connection if there is a gas smell. Use water to check for leaks in the pipe. Never test for leaks with an open flame, as the gas can explode. Turn the gas off if there is a leak or fire, and always ensure that a certified gas installer installs your gas."
