Its the best time of year! Tonight, you get to Fall back an hour. Before you catch some zzzs for the night, dont forget to set your clocks back an hour but theres one other thing you NEED TO DO. SeWyCo Fire Company also wants to remind you to change the batteries in your smoke detectors. As the weather cools down, please be sure to check your detectors as they are your early warning for a fire. Three out of every five home fires between 2007-2011 were from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Also, now is good time to get your central heating system inspected and serviced BEFORE you need to use it. If you have a chimney, have a professional chimney sweep inspect your chimney and fireplace for cracks, blockages and leaks and cleaned and repaired as needed. Finally, be sure your flu is open BEFORE you light your fireplace. Be sure to only burn seasoned hardwood as trash or cardboard boxes could contain toxins and burn unevenly.
