Struggling Stirling residents are being urged not to resort to desperate measures – including using camping stoves and barbecues INDOORS – to keep soaring energy bills down this winter.
MSP Evelyn Tweed has joined the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) in calling on people driven to use candles and burning wood to light and heat their homes to take care.
She told how she is concerned about those using alternative heating and lighting methods to try to keep energy bills down this winter following a warning from the fire service.
