This is the weekend to set your clock ahead one hour as we switch to daylight savings time Sunday morning a
t 2a.m. Also, area Fire Departments reminds citizens that this weekend when you “Change your Clocks – Change your Batteries.” The message is simple and the habit could be life saving.
Most fatal fires occur at night when people are asleep. Often the victims never wake up. Changing smoke alarm batteries twice a year, testing these alarms and reminding others to do the same are some of the simplest, most effective ways to reduce these tragic deaths and injuries.
