As we change our clocks and look forward to extended daylight, please take the appropriate steps to make sure your home is safe. Please check your smoke detectors and change the batteries if they’re not sealed.

Also, when was the last time you talked about an exit plan in the event of a fire? Please ensure your family talks about having two ways out of every room and decide a safe meeting place. If you have young children, consider conducting a fire drill. This could be the difference that could save their lives in the event of a fire.
