fall back and check batteries

Don't Forget to Replace Smoke and CO Alarm Batteries This Weekend as Daylight Saving Time Ends
Each year, the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) sponsors a campaign to help keep household smoke alarms working: Change Your Clock/Change Your Battery(tm). According to the Home Safety Council, 97% of American homes have at least one smoke alarm installed, but less than one in five tests the alarms at least quarterly. Safety experts recommend testing home smoke alarms monthly and replacing the batteries once a year or when they chirp, signaling low battery power. When you reset your clocks on Saturday night to "fall back," replace the batteries in all your smoke and CO alarms, and then hold a family fire drill.
