[californiadisasters] Firefighters Say: Change Your Clock, Change Your Batteries!



Dear Friend of the LAFD,  
 
 

Firefighters Say: Change Your Clock, Change Your Batteries!

Saturday, November 02, 2013 |  Posted by LAFD

Firefighters know the importance of home fire safety. That's why the men and women of your Los Angeles Fire Department urge you to change the all of the batteries in your home smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when you change your clocks back to Standard Time this weekend. 

Daylight Saving Time ends at 2:00 AM this Sunday, November 3, 2013 - and all clocks should be set back one hour - after you change the batteries in your life saving devices!

So you know about the "Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery" campaign, but...

Do you know when your smoke alarms should be retired?
 

Yes, we said "retired." Think about it. Your smoke alarms work every minute of every day. After millions of sensing cycles, they should be retired. To learn more about the service life of smoke alarms and more ways to keep your family safe from fire, please visit:
