The Hazelwood Fire Department has issued a reminder about the safety checks residents should add to their to-do lists. In a recent social media post, the department emphasized the importance of being proactive with simple yet life-saving measures: resetting clocks for daylight saving time, replacing smoke alarm batteries, and doing the same for carbon monoxide detectors.
This seasonal mnemonic serves as a call for household vigilance. “Change your clocks — it’s time to #FallBack! Change the batteries in your smoke alarms. Change the batteries in your carbon monoxide (CO) detectors,” the Hazelwood Fire Department posted on Facebook.
The Hazelwood Fire Department, in its unceasing commitment to community safety, underscores the immediacy of these precautions, with a clear message that "a few small steps can make a big difference in keeping your family safe." Firefighters assert their unmistakable eagerness to prevent tragedies often birthed from something as mendable as a battery change, as mentioned also in the Hazelwood Fire's Department post.
The Hazelwood Fire Department urged residents to stay vigilant about fire and carbon monoxide safety, reminding them to regularly check alarms and replace batteries. Officials emphasized that small preventive steps can make a big difference in protecting families and homes.
