Clocks go back this weekend

Daylight Saving Time concludes this weekend, requiring residents to set their clocks back one hour on Saturday night. This change affects a range of devices, from traditional wall clocks to battery-operated appliances. The local fire department urges community members to utilize this time to check smoke alarms and replace batteries as needed. Properly functioning smoke alarms are crucial for home safety and can save lives in emergencies. This seasonal adjustment also serves as a reminder for residents to consider their overall safety measures.

Many people often forget which devices need to be reset, leading to potential inconveniences. The fire department’s initiative highlights the importance of being prepared and vigilant about home safety. Taking these steps can ensure a safer environment for all residents as winter approaches.
