When the time changes from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time on Sunday, remember to check your safety devices.

Test your home smoke alarms and change the batteries;
Test your carbon monoxide detector according to the manufacturer’s instructions;
See if your fire extinguishers are fully charged and ready;
If you have a security system, make sure it’s working the way it was designed to work;
This is also a good time to review your family’s fire drill plans. Make sure everyone knows at least two ways to get out of each bedroom and each area of the house. Establish a place to meet outside in an emergency.
