Change Your Smoke Alarm Batteries with Daylight Saving Time
The International Fire Chiefs Association and Energizer want you to adopt a new habit; changing your smoke alarm batteries every November when you set your clocks back for DST. Find out how you can get free batteries at your local fire department.
The International Fire Chiefs Association and the Energizer battery company have combined forces to promote a fire safety campaign "Change Your Clock Change Your Battery" encouraging people to change their fire alarm batteries with the fall Daylight Saving Time shift—which occurs on the first Sunday in November.
A properly installed and tested home fire alarm with a fresh battery is one of the simplest and most effective things you can do to protect yourself and your family from a home fire. Energizer is donating hundreds of thousands of batteries to fire departments across the US. Contact your local fire department to see if they are participating—even if you can't get your hands on a couple free 9v batteries, it only costs a few bucks to buy a new pack.
Visit the link below for additional information about the "Change Your Clock Change Your Battery", including fire safety information, fire safety coloring books for children, media information, and request forms your local fire department can use to participate in next years campaign and receive free batteries. For more information about fire safety make sure to read up on how to effectively use a fire extinguisher, how to buy the right fire extinguisher, and how to set up a household fire emergency plan.
