The switch has a red plate with the words EMERGENCY SWITCH on it. There
are 3 gas appliances in the room: a gas heater, a gas water heater, and a
gas dryer.

Is the switch for a particular one of the appliances in the room, or is it
for the whole room? Under what circumstances should the switch be used?

Thanks.

Did you try the switch? Usually emergency switches are only required for
oil burners. There might have been a conversion at one time.
