Change the Clocks, Change Those Batteries!

Daylight Savings Time took place this weekend, but it's not too late to take care of that OTHER piece of business - changing the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.

One of the easiest ways to remember to take care of this annual chore is to do it the same day you change your clocks. Working smoke alarms cut in half the risk of dying in a home fire. Worn or missing batteries are the most common cause of a smoke alarm or carbon monoxide detector malfunction. Changing the batteries at least once a year is one of the simplest, most effective ways to prevent tragic deaths and injuries.
