    TBM Fire Department Reminds Residents to “Spring Forward” by Changing Clocks and Alarm Batteries

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    The Town of The Blue Mountains Fire Department would like to remind residents that clocks will spring forward one hour at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 9. As you adjust your clocks, The Blue Mountains Fire Department encourages residents to also check the expiry dates and install new batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

    In the event of a fire, having an early warning and knowing how to respond is crucial. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms rely on working batteries to function properly, so it is important to replace the batteries at least once a year to ensure they remain effective in an emergency.

    Working smoke alarms are required on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas. For added protection, it is recommended that smoke alarms are also installed inside all bedrooms. Carbon monoxide alarms must be installed outside all sleeping areas if your home has a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace, or attached garage.

    Please note that tampering with or removing the batteries from your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms is against the law. Failure to comply with the Fire Code can result in a ticket for $360 or a fine of up to $50,000.
