It’s
hard to believe that in just a few days, we will be changing our
clocks back from Daylight Saving Time. This year the time change is on
November 4 and it also marks the 25th anniversary of the annual Change Your Clock Change Your Battery® program. Energizer
and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) are once again
working with local fire departments nationwide to raise awareness on the
importance of working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in
helping to keep families safe in their homes.
Thirty-eight
percent of fatal fire injuries occur in homes with no smoke alarms,
while 24 percent occur in homes in which at least one smoke alarm is
present but fails to operate, frequently due to dead or missing
batteries.*
Remember to change the
batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when you
set your clocks back – it could help save a life.
You can't really forget to set the clocks back, and if you do you will realize it. This time of the year makes an easy reminder to go ahead and put in a new battery in that smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector. I advise you to keep the batteries in a cabinet so that you have them ready on clock change day. Chances are if you don't have the batteries, you will put off changing them!
