EUREKA, CA. (KIEM) – This Sunday resident will spring their clocks forward an hour. While people are taking the time to make the change It might be a good time to check or change your smoke detectors.

On average smoke alarms have a 10 year lifespan. They require little maintenance, such as replacing batteries and occasional cleaning. Battalion Chief Kent Hulbert shared with Redwood News a time when a newly installed smoke alarm saved several lives.

If your home does not have a smoke detector or the one you have is too high to reach call your local fire department.
