Over 5,000 house fires a year are caused by damaged electric blankets. It’s advised to have your blanket expertly checked at least every three years and replaced every 10 years.

A Caring Community spokesman urged electric blanket owners to make an appointment for a free test. “Remember there are thousands of house fires a year caused by faulty blankets - make sure yours is tested.”

Places are limited. To book an appointment call 01424 215116 9am-3pm Monday to Friday.
