Rep Power: 217 | | | It's that time of year for most of us anyhow... Daylight Saving Time comes to an end... and we set our clocks back an hour... and we get back that precious hour we lost in April... and while it will get dark earlier.. at least if we want to take that early morning walk we won't walk into walls. Interesting tidbit about DST
For the U.S. and its territories, Daylight Saving Time is NOT observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Arizona. The Navajo Nation participates in the Daylight Saving Time policy, even in Arizona, due to its large size and location in three states. A safety reminder
Many fire departments encourage people to change the battery in the smoke detector when they change their clocks because it provides for a convenient reminder. "A working smoke detector more than doubles a person's chances of surviving a home fire," says William McNabb of the Troy Fire Department in Michigan. More than 90 percent of homes in the United States have smoke detectors, but one-third are estimated to have dead or missing batteries. |

Thanks for the PSA Mal... I'll be checking the extinguishers at work too |

Rep Power: 31 | | | Nia: Definately you should have a carbon monoxcide detector by the furnace and one on every floor of your house. Mine are right next to my smoke detectors. |
