Firefighters know the importance of home fire safety.
Change all of your Smoke Alarm batteries when you change your clocks back to Standard Time on October 28, 2001. The LAFD encourages you to change Smoke Alarm batteries at least once each year. An easy way to remember is to change your batteries when you turn your clock back to Standard Time each Fall. Replace old batteries with fresh, high quality batteries to keep your Smoke Alarms ready to protect you all year-long. After inserting fresh batteries in your Smoke Alarm, make sure the Alarm is working by pushing the safety test button.
