Not every state in America participates in the interesting phenomenon of Daylight Savings Time. However, Missouri does.
Since you're already rolling your clocks back on November 1st, why not change the batteries in the smoke alarms in your home too?
Sunday, November 1st marks the return to Standard Time. Energizer Batteries and the International Association of Fire Chiefs are joining together to remind families to take a few extra minutes to install new smoke alarm batteries. It could make the difference in whether your family survives a fire or not. Working smoke alarms can double a family's chance of surviving a fire. According to the National Fire Protection Association, every three hours a home fire death occurs somewhere in the U.S. Having even a few extra seconds from a working smoke alarm could make a huge difference when trying to escape a burning home.
Please make this simple battery change a habit. It's an easy step in keeping your family safe.
