Get ready to “spring forward.” Daylight Saving Time officially begins Sunday at 2:00 a.m. That means clocks should be moved forward one hour before going to bed on Saturday.
It’s also a good time to change the batteries in your smoke alarm and make sure it’s working properly. The Indiana Department of Homeland Security also reminds residents to check their smoke alarms’ manufacture date. If it’s more than 10 years old, it’s time for a new one.
Having working smoke alarms doubles your chance of surviving a house fire, according to the National Fire Protection Association. More fire safety tips can be found on the Indiana Department of Homeland Security website.
