El Cajon Fire and Safe Kids USA would like to remind you that when you changed your clocks for daylight saving time on Sunday, March 8, 2009 – hopefully you also remembered to change the batteries in all your smoke alarms. It’s important to change these batteries twice a year, unless they’re 10-year lithium batteries.

Additional safety reminders:
At home:
- Make sure you have working smoke alarms on each level of your home, in the hallway leading to the bedroom areas, and in each bedroom as well. Make sure have a home escape plan and that you’ve discussed and practiced your plan with your family.
- Never leave cooking food unattended.
- Never leave lit candles unattended.
- Lock away matches and lighters – keep them out of reach of young children.
