Change Your Clock, Change Your Batteries!
A home fire impacts the life of an American family every 85 seconds. By providing an early warning and critical extra seconds to escape, smoke alarms cut in half your family’s risk of dying in a home fire – but only if they work. So, when you turn your clocks back, on Sunday, November 4, also make a lifesaving change in your household – change the batteries in your smoke alarms! This simple habit takes just a moment, but is the best defense your family has against the devastating effects of a home fire.
Roanoke Fire-EMS offers free 9-volt batteries and free smoke detectors. Call the Public Education Department at 853-5785 for more information.
This reminder to Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery comes to you from Roanoke Fire-EMS, the International Association of Fire Chiefs and Energizer Max brand batteries.
