Remember to set your clocks back one hour when you go to bed Saturday night – or at 2 Sunday morning – as we return to Standard Time. As Daylight Saving time comes to an end – we gain an extra hour of sleep. Also the Maryland and Delaware State Fire Marshals remind you to check your smoke alarms when you change your clocks. This is an ideal time to test your alarms, check their age and replace batteries in units with replaceable batteries. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms should be replaced after 10 years. If your smoke or carbon monoxide alarm uses a 9-volt battery – you should change it to the newer 10-year sealed lithium battery models, which will last until the entire unit needs to be replaced.
