Check smoke detector batteries when you 'Spring Forward'
|
Don't forget to set your clocks forward one hour Sunday, March 13, when Daylight Saving Time ends. When you re-set your clock, be sure to check your smoke alarm battery at the same time, as many need replacing about every six months. It's also a good time to check your carbon monoxide detector batteries.
