CHANGE YOUR CLOCKS - CHANGE YOUR BATTERIES
With Daylight Savings approaching in a few days, ACFRA is reminding residents of the simple, life-saving habit of changing and testing the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when setting the clocks back from daylight-savings time. Working smoke alarms detect and alert people to fire in its early stages and provide warning to help them escape safely.
