Change Your Clock - Change Your Battery!
5 minutes to keep your smoke detectors working
It's time to turn your clocks back again. As you reset your clocks, change the batteries in your smoke detectors to keep your family safe. The National Fire Protection Association has reported that when smoke detectors fail to sound during a fire, 71% of the time it is due to missing or dead batteries.
Make it a fun family activity and while you're at it, talk about your escape plan in case of a fire. Where is your designated meeting spot? Nothing beats practice. Home fire drills will prepare your family to safely survive should the unthinkable happen where you live.
A few minutes spent this weekend could make a difference for those you care about. Check out these facts about smoke detectors to keep them in working order.
