PSA: Smoke Alarm battery change when springing forward and falling back.

On Sunday, March 9 states throughout the U.S. will turn their clocks forward* for Daylight Savings Time. NFPA encourages the public to test their smoke alarms and change replaceable batteries, if needed, when turning back clocks in the fall and ahead in the spring.

And for all your safety…. Have a smoke alarm in every bedroom AND a CO alarm.

All of ours are lithium 10 year batteries - so no need for the twice yearly dance.
