Don't forget, spring forward time this weekend. This is also the time to check the batteries in your smoke alarms! The US Fire Administration has some great tips for checking smoke alarms.

Spring and Fall are good times to check/change the batteries in smoke detectors. Just today there were three fatalities reported in OKC where a smoke detector was present but it did not have a working battery. Also, remember, many smoke detectors have a life span of no more than 10 years (depends on the brand). They need to be completely replaced now and then. If you have a monitored alarm system with smoke detectors that are getting up in years, it would be a good idea to call your monitoring company.
