Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025, and the Enterprise Fire Department is urging residents to use the time change as a reminder to check their smoke detectors. ⏰🔥

“At Enterprise Fire, your safety is our top priority,” Enterprise Fire Chief Christopher Davis said. “Smoke detectors reduce your risk of dying in a house fire by almost half, and no one should go without them. Our goal is to have working smoke detectors in every home in the City of Enterprise, Ala..”

Davis said smoke detectors should be installed in every common area of the home and outside all bedrooms. Test alarms monthly, replace batteries at least twice a year, and replace the units every 10 years.

“Smoke alarms fail most often because of missing or dead batteries,” Davis said. “Check your detectors when you change your clocks, test them weekly, and make sure everyone in your home knows the sound and what to do if it goes off.”

He also encouraged residents to review and practice their fire escape plans.

“Ensure every room has two ways out and that exit paths are clear. Watch for obstacles, especially with holiday decorations, and designate a safe meeting place outside so everyone knows where to go.”

As part of Fire Prevention Month, the Enterprise Fire Department conducted its annual Smoke Detector Blitz, visiting more than 200 homes to install and distribute free working smoke alarms. Fire Prevention Week and other activities emphasized the importance of smoke detectors, fire escape plans, and safe handling of household hazards. Firefighters also visited local schools, including the inflatable fire safety house funded by the Alabama Power Foundation, giving students a fun, hands-on fire safety experience.

The Enterprise Fire Department provides smoke detectors free of charge to city residents. For more information, contact the department at (334) 348-2641 or visit www.enterprisefd.com

Having a plan, learning basic skills like first aid or fire extinguisher use, and knowing how to help your neighbors makes all the difference when seconds matter.

Preparedness isn’t about fear — it’s about empowerment.

Start today. Your actions could change everything.
