Reminder: End of Daylight Savings Marks Time to Fall Back

Once again it's that time of the year to fall back.

Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, so you might want to set your clock an hour back before going to bed tonight. Don’t forget to change other things that run on a timer, such as sprinkler systems.

Firefighters recommend that when people take the opportunity to also check their smoke alarms to see if the batteries need to be replaced. Residents also are encouraged to clean the detector with a vacuum to remove lint or dust, and mount alarms high on walls, at least four to 12 inches from the ceiling.

If the smoke detector makes a chirping noise, that means the battery is low and needs to be changed.
