Change the batteries in your smoke detectors!!
November 6 is the end of Daylight Savings Time. When you change your clocks, change the batteries in your smoke detectors. Changing batteries twice a year helps to ensure your smoke detectors are ready to possibly save your life in the event of a fire. Don't forget your carbon monoxide detector batteries as well. Always follow detector manufacturer's instructions on detector placement and replacement timeframe.
