A torch for the lights. A plan for the warmth. 🔥
The UK Government’s updated Be Ready campaign encourages households to keep at least three days’ worth of essentials, including bottled water and food that doesn’t need cooking, in case services are disrupted.
It’s also a good time to think about how you’d keep warm if the power went out.
A traditional freestanding multi-fuel stove can keep the room you’re using warm without mains electricity. And on an ordinary winter evening, there’s nothing quite like settling in beside a real fire.
If you already have a stove, check your carbon monoxide alarm, make sure your chimney is swept regularly and only burn fuels approved for your model and permitted in your area.
