The days are getting longer and that means it’s time to change our clocks again. Rebecca Havely reminds you to not only change your clocks tonight, but your smoke alarm’s batteries as well…
Sunday, March 11, is the start of Daylight Saving Time and that means it’s time to “spring forward” one hour. It also means it’s not only time to change your clocks but also your smoke detector batteries. While electronic devices may change their clocks automatically, it’s up to you to keep yourself and your family safe by changing smoke alarm batteries. Test the smoke alarm to ensure that it works and remember to check all smoke alarms monthly. A working smoke alarm can decrease a family’s risk of dying in a house fire by nearly 50 percent. Smoke alarms should be placed on every floor of your home, in every bedroom, and any outside sleeping areas.
