Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time returns the second Sunday of March (March 14 this year). Remember to “spring forward” one hour on Saturday evening before you go to bed.
This is also the best time to replace the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Many of the newer homes have these detectors directly wired, however there are many that still use batteries.
If your smoke alarm, or carbon monoxide detector is over 10 years old it is recommended that you replace it. Many stores in and around your area (like Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Lowes, Rona) will feature these items on sale this weekend. This is also a good time to get into the habit of testing your smoke alarm on a regular basis. A candle will smolder after it is blown out. This smoke should activate the smoke alarm if placed directly below it.
PLEASE REMEMBER: Only WORKING smoke alarms save lives!
Test YOUR smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors today.
