DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ENDS THIS SUNDAY AT 2:00 AM. WE’LL FALL BACK AN HOUR TO STANDARD TIME. AND THAT NOT ONLY MEANS RESETTING YOUR CLOCKS … BUT ALSO INSTALLING NEW BATTERIES IN YOUR SMOKE ALARMS. YOU’RE ALSO ADVISED TO MAKE SURE YOUR SMOKE ALARM ACTUALLY WORKS WHEN YOU PUT THOSE NEW BATTERIES IN.
ROUGHLY 95 PERCENT OF AMERICAN HOMES HAVE A SMOKE ALARM BUT NATIONAL STUDIES SHOW ABOUT 20 PERCENT OF THOSE ALARMS DON’T WORK BECAUSE OF WORN OUT OR MISSING BATTERIES.
