If that means you'll be running your appliances later tonight please make sure they are finished before you go to bed.

You wouldn't like to see us driving like this... so why should you?
Please always ensure your windscreen is fully clear of ice or mist before setting off. Leaving ice on your car risks your safety and the safety of others - so please, clear your windscreen fully before driving.
We are all deeply saddened to hear the news that Her Majesty The Queen has died. Our thoughts go out to the royal family at this sad time.
As a mark of respect, flags at our HQ and on fire stations across Essex will fly at half-mast.
⚠️ ROAD CLOSURE ⚠️ We're at the scene of a fire on Flag Hill in Great Bentley which is affecting outbuildings, fields and vehicles. Local residents are asked to keep windows and doors closed as there is a lot of smoke in the area. Please avoid the area where possible.
A BIG congratulations to the fantastic young adults from Extra 21 who had their Firebreak pass out at Maldon Fire Station today 👏
