Change Your Clocks Change Your Battery

By providing an early warning and critical extra seconds to escape, working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fire structures in half. So when you set your clocks ahead on March 9th, use the extra hour of daylight to make a life-saving change in your household—change and test the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors—and remind your friends, family and neighbors to do the same. This simple act takes just
a moment, but is the best defense your family has against the devastating effects of a home fire.
