Change Clock, Change Battery "drill" planned
More than 3,000 fire departments across the country will sound their emergency sirens on Saturday, October 24, (at press time, discussion was underway regarding whether the sirens will be sounded at the same time) to remind the citizens in their communities to check and change their smoke detector batteries as they turn their clocks back an hour from daylight savings to Eastern standard time. The “drill” is part of this year's annual “Change Your Clock, Change Your battery" national home fire safety campaign sponsored by the International Association of Fire Chiefs and the Evereadv Battery Company.
