Daylight Saving Time is over! Most of your clocks were smart enough to change themselves overnight, but you know what didn't? Your smoke alarm batteries!🔋 Do you have smoke alarms with replaceable batteries? Give them some fresh batteries! They should be replaced at least once a year, and using the time change as your reminder makes it easy to remember.🔋 Do you have smoke alarms with sealed, 10-year batteries? You're off the hook for changing batteries, but you're NOT off the hook for testing them. Give that TEST button a press!Here's the part a lot of people don't know: ALL smoke alarms expire! Yep, even those fancy ones with 10-year batteries. Every smoke alarm should be replaced 10 years after its manufacture date, regardless of the battery type.If you're not sure how old yours are, take a peek at the manufacture date on the back. If it's from 2016 or earlier, it's time for a new one!Smoke alarms save lives, but only if they're working!GeSparky The Fire Dogsafety tips from NFPA and Sparky The Fire Dog: bit.ly/4yTig2a. ...
