Natural gas, used in municipal networks, is lighter than air and highly flammable. Its concentration in a room between 5% and 15% creates an explosive mixture that can detonate from an electrical spark or open flame. Procedures in such cases mandate the immediate shut-off of the gas supply to the building, evacuation of people, and a ban on using any devices that could create a spark.
