Time To Change Clocks, BatteriesPublished Wednesday, October 16, 1996 in the Nevada County PicayuneAs the fall time change approaches, the Arkansas Department of Health wants to remind residents to make another change that could save their lives -- changing the batteries in their smoke detectors. Although many homes are equipped with smoke detectors, non-working smoke detectors are common. Cited causes of non-working smoke detectors are worn or missing batteries. Changing smoke detector batteries once a year is one of the simplest, most effective ways to reduce fire deaths and injuries. A working smoke detector nearly cuts in half the risk of dying in a home fire. So start a lifesaving habit this October 27. When you change your clock from daylight-saving time, change the batteries in your smoke detector. Search | Nevada County Picayune by date | Gurdon Times by date |
