how can i extinguish the pilot light in my gas fireplace?

Answer 1

Turn the supply off, there is usually a quarter turn valve near the fireplace, turn this off and the pilot will go off.Whatever you do, don't blow it out, this could cause a safety hazard on old burners.
A note of caution, if you turn the supply off for the whole house, nothing gas will work, such as water heaters, stoves etc.

The pilot light is controlled by a small box that is called the gas control box. This device controls the flow of gas and has a shut off on it. If need be, use a flashlight to look at the knob on the valve. It can be turned to the "OFF" position.
