When you change your clocks this weekend, please test your smoke detector and change your battery if need be. Working smoke alarms reduce the risk of dying in a home fire by more than half. Prepare or update your home fire escape plan in case of an emergency.

Fire Prevention Week is here, running from October 6 to 12. This year's theme is "Charge into Fire Safety." As Lithium-Ion batteries are prevalent in many everyday devices, it's crucial to be aware of the risks associated with their improper use.
