It's past time to change your clocks and smoke alarm batteries!
It was time to "fall back" on November 1st to change your clocks AND also change the batteries in your smoke alarms- so I can't let another day go by without a healthy reminder.
Did you know that having a working smoke alarm reduces a person's chance of dying in a fire by half? For the best protection, install smoke alarms on every level of your home, outside every sleeping area and in every bedroom. Smoke alarms should be mounted high on walls or ceilings and tested monthly.
It's important to replace smoke alarm batteries once a year, unless they're 10-year lithium batteries. Even if your smoke alarms are hardwired, replace the batteries in case of a power outage.
