Change Your Clock, Change Your Smoke Detector Batteries

Sunday morning (2:00 a.m.) marks the beginning of Daylight Savings Time, which means you move your clock ahead one hour. The Northland Fire Wire reminds everyone that this is the prefect time to change the batteries in your smoke detector. Unfortunately, in many fatal fires, the batteries in smoke detectors have been removed or are dead. In addition, the absence of smoke detectors has led to needless fire deaths and injuries. Smoke detectors save lives. It’s really as simple as that.
