As we turn our clocks back one hour, the Adamstown Fire Company reminds everyone that this is the perfect time to perform essential home safety checks.
Residents are urged to test all smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, replace batteries if needed, and confirm that fire extinguishers are in proper working order. Many newer smoke detectors contain sealed 10-year batteries, making it especially important to verify the manufacturing date and ensure the units are still within their usable lifespan.
Taking just a few minutes to inspect your safety equipment can make a life-saving difference. The Adamstown Fire Company encourages the community to stay proactive and stay protected.
