 Spring forward with DST, working smoke alarms 

                    Richmond, Va. —                                                Defense Logistics Agency Installation Management Richmond’s Fire Prevention Office would like to remind everyone of the importance of changing your smoke detector batteries when you move your clock forward March 8, in conjunction with Daylight Saving Time. The smoke detectors could be the most important safety equipment in your home, but in many cases, they are the least maintained.

 Take two ... minutes to change your clock and your smoke alarm batteries 

                    Richmond, Va. —                                                Daylight Saving Time is almost here, and when you change your clocks on Nov. 3, make sure you change the batteries in your smoke detectors, too.

 Remember to spring for new batteries, save lives 

                    Richmond, Va. —                                                Springing forward shouldn’t be the only thing on your mind as we begin Daylight Saving Time at 2 a.m. this Sunday, March 10.

 Change your clock, change your battery 

                    Richmond, Va. —                                                As we enter the fall season, Daylight Saving Time will end at 2 a.m. this Sunday, Nov. 4.					According to a National Fire Protection Association fact sheet for smoke alarms in U. S. home fires, fires in which the smoke alarms were present but did not operate: •	almost half (46 percent) of the smoke alarms had missing or disconnected batteries, •	nuisance alarms were the leading reason for disconnected smoke alarms, •	dead batteries caused one-quarter (24 percent) of the smoke alarm failures, and •	only seven percent of the failures were due to hardwired power source problems, including disconnected smoke alarms.

 Fire Prevention Week 2015 highlights importance of smoke detectors 

                    Fort Belvoir, Virginia —                                                During Fire Prevention Week, which runs Oct. 4-10, Defense Logistics Agency employees and their families are encouraged to be fire safe throughout the year.
