⏰🍂 When you turn your clocks back, don't forget to give your smoke & CO alarms a little love! ❤️ 🔋 Change those batteries! 🚨 Test your alarms! ⚡ Check the power and battery backups! An extra hour of sleep is great… but an extra layer of safety is even better! 😉

Fully charged = time to unplug. Overcharging can overheat batteries - give them a break! 🔋 #FPW2026

Cheap charger? Hard pass. Use the cord and charger that came with your device - or one approved by the manufacturer. 🔌 #FPW2026

Recruit Firefighter Bill’s tip: Test your smoke alarms once a month - and don’t miss Test Your Smoke Alarm Day on September 28! Press the button, hear the beep, stay protected. Small habit. Big safety.

Recruit Firefighter Braydon’s tip: No junk drawers. No hot cars. Store lithium‑ion batteries in a cool, dry place where they won’t get crushed or damaged. Smart storage = safer homes.
