Just when you thought that Halloween was going to be over too soon, we are happy to say to the party goers that the are going to gain an extra hour on Sunday morning as we return to standard time. However, this time is also the perfect time not only to catch up on some extra sleep but also change the batteries in your smoke and fire detectors.
Given that many of the apartments in our city are multi-family, proper working smoke detectors are a necessity that can save your life.
