Spring fire safety – time to change your batteries
|
On March 9, we return to daylight savings time, and we will be setting our clocks ahead by one hour. During this time of year, it is a good reminder that we all should be replacing the batteries in our smoke alarms. Change Your Clock / Change Your Batteries. It is also a good time to check the age of your smoke alarms. The life expectancy of smoke alarms is 10 years. If you are unsure as to the age of your smoke alarms, it would be a good idea to replace the unit.
