Messaging around smoke alarms and batteries is more nuanced now that newer smoke alarms often feature 10-year batteries.

For those ending this weekend, change clocks and check batteries, only if needed. Test smoke alarms monthly.

Brrr... winter’s back! ❄️

Warm up safely by plugging space heaters directly into the wall, one per outlet.
Never plug multiple heat-producing appliances into the same outlet.
