| Daylight Savings Time ends this Sunday, November 6 at 2:00 a.m. The clock will fall back one hour, and we will gain a well deserved hour of additional sleep.
The Pleasant Valley Fire District has some tips for properly adjusting to daylight savings. It’s recommended that people set non-smart clocks behind by one hour before going to bed.
While residents take the time to adjust their clocks, the P.V.F.D. strongly suggests also changing the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
We can not stress the importance of having smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, with operating batteries, in every bedroom, home level and hallways that lead to bedrooms.
Saving your life can be as simple as changing your smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector batteries at least twice a year, and any time you hear the “chirp” warning of a low battery. |
