Daylight Savings Time ends. Have you changed the batteries in your smoke detectors?

Nov. 11, 2008 - PRLog -- Cartersville, Atlanta, Georgia -  Daylight Savings Time ended Sunday November 2nd.
H & R Fire and Safety of Cartersville Georgia advises that this is a great time to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.  Having trouble figuring out how to accomplish that?  H & R Fire and Safety has all the parts and service help you need to get things working again.  They also recommend checking your fire extinguishers.  It's a good idea to check them monthly just to be safe.  It's easy and only takes a minute.  First, check to make sure the tamper seal around the pull pin is intact and not broken.  Second, make sure the needle on the gauge is still in "the green".  Third, check to see if there are any visible signs of damage or rust.  If one or more of these conditions exist, (a broken tamper seal, the gauge needle is out of "the green" area, or there is visible damage or rust), H & R Fire and safety strongly suggest taking your fire extinguisher to the nearest licensed dealer to have it checked out.  Most legitimate dealers will do this at little or no charge.  You should be able to find one in your local yellow pages, or if you live in Georgia check out GAFSED (Georgia Association of Fire Safety Equipment Dealers).  If outside Georgia, contact NAFED (National Association of Fire Equipment Distributors) to find a dealer near you.  You can also contact H & R Fire and Safety directly at 770-382-7650 or on the web at  http://www.hrfiresafety.com for all of your fire and safety needs.
