<div>To kick off Daylight Savings Time, clocks “spring forward” at 2am Sunday
morning. Before everyone goes to bed tonight, they'll change all of the clocks
throughout their homes to reflect the time change. NFPA wants to remind everyone
that this might also be a good time to change the batteries in all of your
home's smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>To stay safe, replacing batteries in all smoke alarms should be done at least
once a year, but changing them while changing all of your clocks serves as a
great reminder. In addition, smoke alarms should be tested once a month and if
an alarm “chirps”, warning the battery is low, replace the battery right
away.</div>
