Fall Back and a Home Safety Tip
On Sunday, November 4th, it's time to set your clocks back one hour. We all know this is a good reminder to change the batteries in your home's smoke and CO detectors, but do you know that smoke detectors expire after 10 years and carbon monoxide detectors only last 5-7 years?
