We've attended a heating fire daily over the past month, so we're issuing a warning to the public to register heating appliances and use them safely.
The warning comes during #RegisterMyApplianceWeek and as the @OfficeforSandS recalls 2 heaters.

Don't let your #BlackFriday bargain go up in smoke.
Experts have warned that who you purchase e-bikes, e-scooters and their chargers from has never been so vital.
We've attended an e-bike or e-scooter fire once every two days.
