Did You Change Your Clock - and Something Else?

Most Americans remembered to change their clocks to Standard Time on Sunday, November 7, 2010 to keep from missing an appointment.

Few of our friends and neighbors however, were mindful of placing fresh batteries in their Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detectors, a simple act that can save lives.



You need to change your batteries!

The LAFD urges you to take the few minutes necessary to change every Smoke Alarm and CO Detector battery in your home. The simple act of changing batteries and then testing these devices can protect you from two relentless killers.

We can't think of an easier task that offers such reward!

FACT: You'd never let a simple convenience like your television remote control go without batteries. Why then ignore the most important devices in your home?

More information can be found on the official Facebook page for the Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery! campaign.
