Leave the door open as you exit.

 

If you are able to do so, turn off your gas meter.

​

How to turn off your meter:

You can turn your gas off at the main shut-off valve on the inlet pipe next to your gas meter.  Using a wrench or another suitable tool, give the valve a quarter turn in either direction so that it is crosswise to the pipe (see diagram).
