Left gas oven on at work?

[Hannah]

I'm a teenager and Ive only used a gas oven twice in my life because I own an AGA at home.
I arrived at work at 4pm, I work in a deli which serves bakery stuff, like a cafe really. Anyway, I was baking scones in the kitchen and I turned the dial about half way and at first, it switched off so I got one of my work mates to turn it back on for me and she turned the dial over half way, anyway I could hear gas so I assumed it was on so I closed the door of the oven.

After I finished baking the scones, I took them out and closed the door, we close at 5pm so the other two staff were in a rush to leave, the girl asked me if I was finished so I said yes nearly, put the scones on a metal rack and put a tea towel over them. As I went to get my bag, she told me to shut the door behind me as we both walked out of the kitchen so I did and as I was walking home, I realised I'd left the oven switched on but I also remembered they'd shut and no one was there so I couldn't go back. I don't have a key to the place or anything nor do I have mobile numbers of the staff of manager because I've only just started working there.

I'm so terrified, I've never used a gas oven in my life and they don't open the shop again until 9am tomorrow morning.

My mums called other shops in the same area to see if they know the numbers of the staff/managers but no luck.

I've looked up their names on Facebook and twitter too, again, no luck.

I'm not in work til Tuesday now and I have no idea what to do, all I can think about is what if it blows up or something, there's nothing in the oven by the way.

What will happen? Please help I'm scared out of my mind. Thanks x

You don't have a number of your employers? Where do you work the FBI cafeteria?

Things could blow up or catch fire.
You should call the gas company so they can shut it off at the street.

I am assuming that the oven was on and heating when you left. If so , then the worst that can happen is that gas is burnt with no harm otherwise.

If the oven was off and you turned on the gas, then a pilot lught would have ignited the gas If the pilot light was off or malfunctioning , then the gas supply would not have been allowed to continue. supplying the oven. Fail-safe gas security.

If you still have concerns , then dial 999 and ask for the fire service and they will check the security of the premises.
