smoke detectors

If you own a cabin, spring means additional clean up and preparation, such as putting out the dock and airing the place out. One thing you should add to your to-do list is checking your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday morning and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety recommends you change your smoke and carbon monoxide alarm batteries when you set your clocks back.

Check your smoke detectors, replace your batteries, test them out, and let's try to be safe!  There has been a huge amount of house fires in the last few weeks.

This week-end is Daylight Saving time! If you are still confused, think of the season, it’s FALL behind an hour. Another thing to remember is to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, yes, even if they are still good, change them. That way you know they’re fresh and ready to keep your family safe.

Always hate to hear stories of families being impacted by fire, especially during the winter.  Thankfully, we have a great local chapter of the Red Cross.
