Public Education

  ​​Change your Clock - Change your Batteries

Twice a year East Central Indiana residents are required to adjust the time on their clocks when Daylight Savings Time changes.  These times are excellent reminders to change the batteries in all of your smoke detectors in your home.  A smoke detector with a dead or removed battery is the same as not having a smoke detector at all.  The early warning a working smoke detector gives you may help save your life and the lives of all the occupants inside the building.  The earlier you are warned of a fire, the earlier the fire department can be on the scene and reduce the serious effects of a fire.

Caleb Matthews

Spring forward, fall back. Change your clocks, change your smoke detector batteries.
