Change your clocks, check your alarms
When the clocks change, it's the perfect time to test your smoke and CO alarms.
- Press the test button on every smoke and CO alarm.
- Replace batteries in alarms that use replaceable ones.
- Check the date on the back: replace smoke alarms older than 10 years.
- Review your home escape plan with the family.
In an emergency, always call 911.
