Change Your Clock – Change Your Battery-Alarm

Owen Sound, Ontario – Friday, October 30, 2015 – Daylight savings time ends on November

1, 2015. This is a great time to make sure that your home has working smoke and carbon

monoxide alarms and conduct a fire drill.

When you change your clocks make sure that all of your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide

alarms are working. Replace the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms. If

your smoke alarms or carbon monoxide alarms are not battery operated, test them to make sure

they will work.

You now must replace any smoke or carbon monoxide alarms that are past their expiration date.

To find out the date when you should replace your smoke alarm or carbon monoxide alarm look

on the outside of the device, under the cover or on the rear of the device.

The Owen Sound Fire & Emergency Services would like to remind you that smoke alarms are

required on every level and outside each sleeping area, it is the law
