Daylight saving time ends—here’s how to stay safe at home
This Sunday, November 6, at 2 a.m., daylight saving time ends. As we turn our clocks back, fire departments across Northern Colorado remind residents to prioritise safety by checking smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Changing our clocks is a perfect opportunity to ensure our homes are protected. It takes less than a minute to test smoke alarms and replace batteries. Fire prevention officers stress the importance of this task, as colder months bring an increased risk of home fires due to heating appliances. They also urge residents to review family home escape plans during the time change. Regularly practising and updating these plans can significantly improve safety and preparedness in case of an emergency. As daylight saving time ends, let's make home safety a priority. Test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, replace batteries, and review your family's escape plan. These simple steps can save lives.
