Check smoke, CO alarms when switching clocks


Those who like to use their weekends to catch up on their sleep are in for a disappointment this coming Saturday.
This is the weekend the clocks go forward, marking the start of Daylight Time, meaning the loss of an hour.
But Caledon Fire and Emergency Services are urging residents to put the time to good use. In the process of setting clocks and other time pieces ahead an hour, they have also issued a reminder that this is a good time to check smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors.
Deputy Fire Chief Mark Wallace stressed the importance that smoke detectors are working and there's at least one on every floor of the house.
“Smoke alarms give you early warning (of a fire),” he said.
Wallace also pointed out CO detectors are going to become mandatory next month.
“They might as well ge CO alarms as well,” he said.
