Time to check smoke alarms as clocks fall back
Daylight Saving Time ends and Central Standard Time returns at 2 a.m. Sunday. Ottawa Fire Department urges replacing smoke and carbon monoxide detector batteries and reviewing home escape plans as winter starts, noting 95 percent of homes have a detector but many fail due to dead or missing batteries. Detectors require fresh power, current status, and replacement every ten years to stay effective.
