As we change our clocks one hour forward on Sunday, the Los Angeles County Fire Department would like to remind you to also change the batteries in every smoke and carbon monoxide detector device in your home.
“Having a working smoke detector in your home clearly increases your chances of survival during a fire,” says Fire Captain Tom Richards.
“The device may alert members of your family while you are asleep, giving you the extra critical seconds for survival.”
The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s Crime Prevention Unit is keeping a close eye on parolees in its patrol area, said station officials, who released new numbers Thursday.
