Falkirk Gas Network Failure – A problem with a “governor” station which regulates gas pressure in the local network developed at about 04:30 on Sunday. Thousands of people spent the night without heat in freezing temperatures and woke up to discover they had no heating or hot water as their boilers shut down.
International Rescue Corps helped to distribute supplies to homes in the area, with heaters and portable cookers being distributed to vulnerable residents.
