Don't Forget: Change the time, Change the battery

Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends at exactly at 2:00 a.m. this Sunday, November 5. Turn the clocks back one hour if you live in most of the United States (most of Arizona and Hawaii don't observe DST).

This time of year serves as a good reminder to change their smoke detector batteries. The batteries should be replaced twice a year, so an easy way to remember to change them is to do it as DST begins and ends.

Almost 3,000 people die each year from structure fires, and many of these deaths can be prevented with working smoke detectors.

So remember: change the time, change your battery!
