Daylight savings ends Sunday at 2 a.m. so we get another extra hour of sleep.  But along with turning our clocks back an hour, the Ohio State Fire Marshal wants us to take a minute to test and check our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. When you check your devices, look for the manufacturing date.  Any alarms that were made in 2012 or earlier should be replaced to keep up with the 10 year timeline and double-check the batteries too.  The fire marshal's office says that having smoke alarms working and up to date cuts the risk of dying in a house fire in half.

State Fire Marshal Kevin Reardon urges all Ohioans to check their home’s smoke alarms regularly and replace when expired. “We see the life-saving impact properly functioning smoke alarms can have when the worst happens,” Reardon said. “Working smoke alarms save lives, cutting your risk of dying in a house fire in half.”
