Radium Fire Department would like to remind everyone that daylight savings time is a great reminder to check your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms!

Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms on a monthly basis
Recommended to change batteries out twice a year, daylight savings is a great reminder of when to do it

Replace alarms every 10 years according to manufacture recommendations

Take some time to make sure everyone in the home recognizes the sound of the alarm and what to do in an emergency
