Fire Department Discourse

Reminder: Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery

Change the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when your change your clock back.

A home fire impacts the life of an American family every 85 seconds. By providing an early warning and critical extra seconds to escape, smoke alarms cut your family’s risk of dying in a home fire in half – but only if they work. The North Shore Fire Department wants to remind you that when you turn your clocks back on Sunday, Nov. 6, also make a life-saving change in your household – change the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. This simple habit takes just a moment, but is the best defense your family has against the devastating effects of a home fire.
