November 7th is the end of daylight savings, and the Duluth Fire Department would like to remind people when you change your clocks, change your batteries on your smoke alarms.

In the event of a fire, a properly installed and maintained smoke alarm can save your life and those of your loved ones. Smoke alarms are a very important means of preventing home fire fatalities by providing an early warning signal so you and your family can escape. They are one of the best safety devices you can buy and install to protect yourself, your family, and your home. You can prevent tragedies simply by testing and maintaining your smoke alarms and practicing a fire escape plan. All smoke alarms in your house should be tested once a month and their batteries replaced annually or as indicated by the manufacturer’s instructions.

If you live in the city of Duluth and are in need of a smoke alarm you may call 723-3215 and the Duluth Fire Department will install one for you.
