Change your clocks, change your batteries in smoke alarms A message from the Daytona Beach Fire Department…Smoke detectors saves lives when they operate properly. Most are battery operated or have battery backup features. Residents are urged to replace alarm batteries twice a year. The ideal time to change the batteries is when clocks are adjusted this weekend. This preventative measure takes just a moment and is the best defense against the devastating effects of a home fire. Additionally, smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years.
