FIREFIGHTERS are asking people to ensure gas appliances are safe.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) has thrown its weight behind Gas Safety Week - the nationwide campaign to raise awareness of gas safety issues.
Estimates suggest one in five homes in Scotland has an unsafe gas appliance.And fire chiefs are urging everyone to have appliances checked every year.
People should check for any of the warning signs an appliance may not be working correctly, such as a lazy yellow flame, black marks or stains around the appliance, or too much condensation in the room.
