CHANGE YOUR CLOCK 1 HOUR BACK AND CHANGE YOUR BATTERIES
Eighty-three percent of civilian fire-related deaths are a result of home fires, and on average, nearly three children a day die in these fires. By providing an early warning and critical extra seconds to escape, smoke alarms increase your family’s chance of getting out of a home fire alive – but only if they work! So, when you turn your clocks back on November 6 make a lifesaving change in your household – change the batteries in your smoke alarms and flashlights.
This simple habit takes just a moment, but it is the best defense your family has against the devastating effects of a home fire.
