On March 14, 2010, We Moved Our Clocks Ahead One Hour - Did You Also Remember To Change Your Smoke Alarm Batteries?
The Burn Institute and the San Diego County Fire Chiefs’ Association would like to remind everyone that whenever we have a time change, also take a moment to change your smoke alarm batteries.
It could save a life! The last time change was Daylight Saving Time on Sunday, March 14. Did you change your smoke alarm batteries too???
WHY? Having a ”working” smoke alarm cuts your chances of dying in a house fire by 50% percent!
Note: If you are 55 years or older, own your own home, live within San Diego County and do not have a working smoking alarm, you qualify for a FREE smoke alarm installation. This popular program takes place year-round. To schedule an appointment, contact Gwen Lammers at the Burn Institute, (858) 541-2277.
