 | Hamilton Township Fire Rescue reminds you to Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery this Sunday November 4, 2007. The Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery program is sponsored by the International Association of Fire Chiefs and Energizer brand batteries, the program urges you to adopt a simple lifesaving habit: Change all of your Smoke Alarm batteries when you change your clocks ahead to Daylight Time and change them again when you set your clocks back. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that every year in the United States, about 3,000 people lose their lives in residential fires. Most fire victims die from inhalation of smoke and toxic gases, not as a result of burns. Most deaths and injuries occur in fires that happen at night while victims are asleep. Hamilton Township Fire Rescue reccomends you change the betteries in all your smoke detectors at least yearly, as well as testing the smoke alarm monthly. |
