When we set the clocks forward, it’s also time for a quick safety check at home. The start of Daylight-Saving Time is a good reminder to test your smoke alarms and replace batteries if needed. Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire by about half, according to the National Fire Protection Association. It’s also a good time to begin spring yardwork. Clear leaves and dead vegetation, trim back overgrown plants, and start building defensible space around your home before fire activity increases. A few minutes today can make a difference all year. #DaylightSavingTime #FireSafety #DefensibleSpace #ReadyForWildfire
