Saint Andrews Fire Department Reminds Us To Change Battery's In Smoke Detectors

The Saint Andrews Fire Department has a message for residents and that is "Remember Change you Clock, Change your batteries.

This as Daylight Savings time ends and we prepare to set our clocks back an hour on Sunday, Nov. 7, meanwhile The Provincial fire Marshal Benoit Laroche tells us most deaths due to house fires happen at night, while people are sleeping. He says it's a good idea to place smoke alarms outside every sleeping area and on every level of the home.

 If you sleep with the bedroom door closed, install a smoke alarm inside the bedroom, test your smoke alarms while the family is sleeping and make sure they are clean.
