Change Batteries when You change Your Clocks

Daylight Savings Time ends at 2am this Sunday, Nov. 3, 2019.  With the time change comes a reminder to change the batteries in your detectors from Rabun County Assistant Fire Chief Justin Upchurch.  “We always use the spring forward and fall back as a good reminder to change the batteries in your smoke detectors as well as carbon monoxide detectors.  Just a good time twice a year to change those batteries to make sure they are operating correctly.”  Fire across the nation kills more people than natural disasters do worldwide, so you can see the importance of having a working smoke detector in your home. As you fall back an hour this weekend, please follow this safety advice so you will be around to spring forward next year.
