The fire service is advising people to have their gas appliances checked annually.
Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS) is supporting the 14th annual Gas Safety Week.
Emma Roberts, HWFRS head of prevention, said: "I would urge people to ensure they have their appliances checked by a professionally qualified Gas Safe engineer.
"This will provide vital protection against the dangers of unsafe gas appliances, not only from fires, leaks, and explosions but also carbon monoxide poisoning."
She also advised against neglecting necessary repairs or servicing to save money.
