As Daylight Savings Time comes to a close at 2 a.m. this Sunday, residents are urged to remember not just to set their clocks back by one hour, but also to take a moment to inspect the batteries in their smoke detectors. The office of the state fire marshal emphasizes the importance of this routine check during the biannual time change, which occurs each spring and fall. Ensuring that smoke alarms are functioning properly is a crucial step in maintaining safety in the home, particularly in the unfortunate event of a fire. Taking these precautions can make a significant difference in protecting lives and property.
