Firefighter to put out your blaze?

The Bite

Nope - you can handle it just fine. Switching off the pilot light on your fireplace or furnace during warm summer months will save loads of natural gas, and it's so easy, a Dalmatian could do it.

The Benefits

*Torching natural gas waste. Example: The pilot light on a gas fireplace can use 1/2 the total gas a gas fireplace burns in a year, and the process for extracting natural gas is resource-intensive (just like extracting oil).
*Saving up for that firefighter calendar. Depending on gas prices in your area, you can save about $50 on bills each year if you turn off a pilot light during warm months.
*It's almost as easy as dialing 911. Once you know where the valve is and how to turn it off, it'll take you just a couple min each year.

Personally Speaking
We should be more vigilant every now and then, especially summer is here already. Just don't panic if accident will happen, think first before doing it.
