Change Your Clock - Change Your Battery

Time change this year occurs on Sunday, October 30. When you change your clock to the new time, replace your smoke detector batteries. This simple habit only takes a little time and may save the lives of you and your family.

If you need assistance, you may contact the Fire Department by calling our non-emergency number (281) 538-5727.

General tips on smoke detectors

 

• Make sure the smoke detectors in your home are in good operating condition.
   
• Ensure that smoke detectors are installed as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
   
• Replace smoke detectors which are more than 10 years old.
   
• If battery operated, replace the battery semi-annually or according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
   
• Test and clean your smoke detectors according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
   
• Install smoke detectors on each level of your home, especially near or in bedrooms.
   
• Develop and practice an escape plan in the event of a house fire. Your escape plan should include an outside meeting point.
