Daylight savings time is ending, and when you change your clocks Sunday, Nov. 3, South County Fire reminds you to check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
A few reminders:
– Replaceable batteries should be changed once each year.
– Smoke alarms with non-replaceable batteries can work for up to 10 years. If the alarm chirps, warning the battery is low, replace the entire smoke alarm right away.
– Replace all smoke alarms after 10 years.
