It's time to kick off Daylight Savings Time!!
This Sunday at 2 a.m. (or Saturday night for most of us) we will need to "spring forward" and change all of our clocks to reflect the time change. Mariposa County Fire wants to remind everyone that this is a great time to change the batteries in all of your home's smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
To stay safe, replacing batteries in all smoke alarms should be done at least once a year, but changing them while changing all of your clocks serves as a great reminder. In addition, smoke alarms should be tested once a month and if an alarm "chirps", warning the battery is low, replace the battery right away
The National Fire Protection Association reports that 71% of smoke alarms which failed to operate in a fire had missing, disconnected, or dead batteries, making it important to take this time each year to check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Mariposa County Fire Department supports the county with 13 volunteer stations located throughout the county.
