Daylight Savings Time (DST) starts Sunday, March 10.

DST is a good time to observe the long-standing “Change Your Clock Change Your Battery” program, created by Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC).

This campaign reminds everyone as they set their clocks ahead for DST, it’s also a great time to test and to change the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.  It’s quick and easy—and it could save your life!
