As clocks “fall back” this weekend, Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services is reminding residents to check and maintain their smoke alarms and prepare their homes for the colder months ahead.

Troy Hicks, Chief Fire Marshal with LFES said the time change serves as a reminder for people to check their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, change their batteries and perform tests.

“If you haven’t changed the batteries, if you didn’t do it in the spring, this is the time of year to remember to change your batteries and make sure you recycle your batteries. Don’t just throw them in the garbage,” said Hicks.

He said with these detectors people should check the expiry date as all detectors whether hardwired or battery operated, have an expiry date.
