We get an extra hour of sleep this weekend. Spotsylvania County Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Management Chief Jay Cullinan reminds everyone to change the batteries in your smoke detectors when you set your clocks back. If your smoke detector is more than 10 years old, replace it. The chief also says to test your smoke detector every month.
Other safety tips from Chief Cullinan:
–Always sleep with your door closed.
–Have a home escape plan and make sure everyone knows it.
–In case of fire, get out and stay out—never go back inside.
