Do it now

When shopping for either normal home items or to possibly replenish some of the already consumed Halloween candy, there is one very important addition to the seasonal shopping list. The Newtown Square Fire Company reminds residents and businesses that the time to change clocks from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time is approaching.

Chief Doug Everlof suggested not waiting until “just before Sunday, November 1, the time for the seasonal time change. He added, “Buy the batteries for the Smoke Detectors NOW.  Also, please set aside some time to remove any dust that has been captured with the cage-like construction of the Smoke Detectors.

The purchase of a battery is such and important element in family safety. Yet, far too often, these small, power sources are forgotten.

Chief Everlof’s reminder added, “Smoke Detectors can only work when they are maintained through simple steps of cleanliness and a fresh battery. Do your own part in assuring home safety.”
