A transistor used as a normally open switch is connected in the millivolt electrical circuit of a fuel-fired natural draft water heater in series with a thermopile device impinged upon by a standing pilot flame, and the solenoid coil portion of the pilot fuel valve. A variable resistance type flammable vapor sensor is connected in a control circuit which is powered by a DC battery and is coupled only to the transistor portion of the millivolt circuit. In the absence of flammable vapor detection by the sensor the control circuit outputs an electrical signal to the transistor that holds it in a closed position to thereby maintain the standing pilot flame. In response to sensor detection of flammable vapor, the control circuit output signal terminates to cause the transistor to return to its normally open switch position, thereby shutting off the pilot flame.
