Googling "Where to call in a gas leak" is almost certainly not common sense.
Similarly, the time spent looking up how to do CPR would be better spent calling emergency services so that they head out as soon as possible. Emergency dispatchers can talk you through CPR while you wait for them to arrive.
You see, the thing about CPR is that it's not really meant to revive somebody. It's meant to keep oxygen in their brain until something can actually be done. Delaying the call for help so that you can learn all of this on Google is the worst thing that you could do.
- ericb 15y agoI have googled NSTAR's gas leak hotline from my phone, while walking down Beacon street and reported a strong gas smell near an apartment building. You think I should have called a different number first?
- burgerbrain 15y agoJust call 911. I assume you do not actually have the training to fully assess the situation, so let the professionals do it. For all you know there are people that need medical attention in that sort of situation.
