I recently had a debate with a person who shall remain nameless and owns a purple car. We disagreed on the most common time to change smoke alarm batteries. Please participate in this poll to help prove that I am right. If you do not wish to participate - please accept this as a reminder to take a few minutes to check the batteries in your smoke alarms to protect your home and family.
Thanks - Pam |

We recommend you change your smoke detector batteries once a year, when you when you Fall back from daylight savings time. That is the official line from my organization the Seattle Fire Dept. We have a program to offer free smoke detectors for the elderly, disabled people and low income households. The home must be owner ocupied.
It is always a tragedy compounded when people die in a fire and then the Fire Investigators find that the smoke detectors while functional didn't have working batteries in them...daveyboy |
