Time change on this Sunday, March 9!
Published on 5 March 2025
We will move the clock forward on the night of March 8 to 9, 2025: in other words, at 2 a.m. on Sunday March 9, it will already be 3 a.m. We will lose an hour's sleep, but gain clarity in the evening. Spring is just around the corner!
Don’t forget that it is also time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms!
Take the opportunity to change your batteries!
Brome-Missiquoi Fire Prevention reminds you of its recommendations concerning your fire alarms:
Replace the battery when the detector issues an intermittent audible signal. 
Use long-life batteries such as lithium batteries or use rechargeable batteries only if recommended by the manufacturer.
Replace it when you move into a new home and never paint it.
Since smoke alarms have a limited lifespan, you should replace them every 10 years.
