An Ayrshire charity is offering free safety tests for old electric heaters and blankets in a bid to save lives.
The Community Gift Exchange, who operate on Ayr’s High Street, have received funding from Electrical Safety First (ESF) - the UK wide charity committed to reducing deaths, injury and damage caused by electricity.
While electric heaters and blankets can keep heating costs down, ESF predicts that this increase in their usage could lead to a dramatic increase in the number of UK domestic fires.
