When you change your clocks, take a few minutes to check the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to help protect your family. While an extra hour of sleep is a nice bonus, a working smoke alarm can save lives.
Be sure to also check the expiration dates on your alarms, as they expire every ten years.
