Reminder: Time Change and Home Safety Tips
Photo by Bullskin Twp Volunteer Fire Co.As we prepare for the time change, the Bullskin Township Volunteer Fire Company reminds everyone to turn back your clocks and replace the batteries in your smoke detectors. Working detectors save lives—test them, replace any unit over 10 years old, and take a moment to review your home escape plan. Stay safe, Bullskin!
On October 31st, the Bullskin Township Volunteer Fire Company issued an important reminder ahead of the upcoming time change this Sunday. As clocks fall back, the department encourages all residents to use this opportunity to perform essential home safety checks.
Fire officials advise replacing the batteries in all smoke detectors and testing each unit to ensure it is functioning properly. Any smoke detector that is 10 years old or older should be replaced entirely, as outdated devices may fail to detect smoke in an emergency.
The department also stresses the importance of reviewing and practicing your home escape plan. Families are reminded not to practice until they get it right—practice until they can’t get it wrong. Regular drills help ensure everyone knows exactly what to do and where to go if a fire breaks out.
The Bullskin Township Volunteer Fire Company thanks the community for taking these safety steps seriously and helping keep homes and families protected. Stay safe, and remember to turn your clocks back this Sunday.
