Just piping in with my neighbor's experience. He smelt gas, he called
the gas company, the gas company verified he had a leak(around the
furnace supply), they shut him off at the street. They said when he
fixes it, they will return to turn him back on. Have a nice day.

So, I'm guessing unless you have some 'service plan' they don't
volunteer to help you.

In our town we had a gas explosion a few weeks ago. Homeowner smelled gas
and called the gas company. Inspector came out, probed the ground and
punctured a high pressure line. Minutes later the house exploded and also
took out half of the house on either side of it. (no one injured)

Rare that it happens, but it can and does. Original leak was caused by an
accident with a dump container in the yard. My end of town does not have
gas but I sure with it did. I miss having gas appliances.
