Change Your Clocks, Change Your Batteries


As the end of daylight savings time approaches, the Coeur d’Alene Fire Department wants to remind you to
make another change that could save your lives...changing the batteries in your smoke detectors.
Although smoke detectors are in 88%of area homes, without proper maintenance, they may not be
providing the life saving duties they were designed to provide.
The most common problem for non-working smoke detectors is worn or missing batteries. Changing smoke detector batteries is one of the simplest, most effective ways to reduce tragic death and injury to you
and your family. In fact, a working smoke detector cuts the risk of dying in a house fire by nearly half.
So when you change your clock this Saturday, change the batteries in your smoke detector.
