Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, Nov. 2. Clocks will “fall back” one hour from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m.
Fire Departments and various organizations traditionally ask people to check their smoke alarms when daylight saving time ends (or begins) to make sure the batteries haven’t died.
“Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire in half as you only have about two minutes to safely get out,” said Sharonne Hayes, a regional communications manager for the American Red Cross.
“When daylight saving time ends this weekend, test your smoke alarms to help prevent a tragedy in your home.”
