Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins this weekend, Sunday, March 14, at 2 a.m. meaning we 'lose' an hour during the night. Remember to set your clocks ahead on hour. Also it is recommended to change the batteries in your smoke detectors at this time. Smoke detectors are proven life savers. There are more than 300,000 residential fires every year, so when there is a fire, smoke detectors buy families valuable escape time. Unfortunately, about two-thirds of fire deaths take place in homes with no smoke detectors or with non-working smoke detectors. The most common reasons why detectors did not work were missing, disconnected, or dead batteries. Please change the batteries and test your smoke detectors. |
