Time change on Sunday, November 3: time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms!

We are switching to winter time this Sunday: don’t forget to turn back the clocks on Saturday night, November 2, and Sunday, November 3! At 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, the time will be 1 a.m. Good news: we will gain an hour of sleep and clarity in the morning!Take this opportunity to change the batteries in your smoke alarms! Check your smoke alarms! Prévention Incendie Brome-Missiquoi would like to remind you that it’s time to change your 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.
