It's time to change the clocks this weekend and the Woodstock Fire Department is reminding everyone to also change your batteries.
WOODSTOCK - Don't forget to Spring forward this weekend as the time change will happen at 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning.
Lisa Woods with the Woodstock Fire Department wants to put this message out every year during the time change.
"Change the clocks, change the batteries, change them in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, put a fresh one in so we know it is going to be working if it's needed, we want to take a look at those alarms and make sure they are still up to date, smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarms only last 10 years. So yeah twice a year we would you to change the batteries for sure."
Woods says working smoke and CO2 detectors save lives every year.
"They absolutely save lives and without them you have a 50% less chance of actually surviving a fire or a CO leak. This is vital, to giving you the time that you need to escape safely in a fire or a carbon monoxide leak."
Woods says this is also a good time to sit down with your family, make sure you have a home escape plan, make sure you have a meeting place and make sure everyone in the family knows.
