(Newswire.net — November 7, 2012) Whittier, CA : — When disaster struck in the form of Super Storm Sandy, millions of people were left without power and heat. In some areas affected, the temperature went down to the low 30s, leaving people searching for ways to keep warm.
The problem: wood and electricity are the heating sources that people typically use. But natural disasters expose their obvious limitations. When wood gets wet, it’s difficult to work with. When power lines are knocked down, electricity is lost. Having gas logs eliminates both of these problems.
Bill R, from Linthicum Heights, Maryland was one of the people who experienced just how resourceful a gas log set can prove to be in times of disaster. He states, “our power was knocked out yesterday evening by Hurricane Sandy, and we used our Rasmussen [gas log] unit today to stay warm and even do a little bit of cooking. It was a big help to have the unit which didn’t need electricity to operate.”
“A gas log set should be one of the first items on your disaster checklist,” adds Rett Rasmussen, VP of Rasmussen Gas Logs. “We offer information as a public service to let people know that not only do we make these products, but that they really can be a huge advantage to you. Your source of heat is a priority, especially when disaster strikes, so don’t forget the fireplace in your disaster kit preparations.”
In a time of emergency, being prepared is essential. Survival requires taking advantage of every resource available, including the gas logs in your fireplace.
