Turn Back the Clocks, Not Your Safety: Test, Inspect and Replace Any Broken or Expired Smoke/CO Alarms!As Daylight Saving Time comes to an end on Sunday, November 1, 2026, remember to turn your clocks back one hour before going to bed on Saturday, October 31. At 2:00 AM, clocks will move back to 1:00 AM, giving us an extra hour of sleep.While adjusting your clocks, take a few minutes to check your home's fire safety measures. Test your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms, inspect them for damage or expiration dates, and replace any broken or expired alarms. Working alarms provide an early warning and can make a critical difference during an emergency.** Prepare Your Family with a Home Fire Escape Plan**- Gather everyone in your household and walk through your home to identify at least two ways out of every room.- Keep all escape routes clear of clutter and ensure doors and windows open easily. If you have security bars or window grills, make sure they have an emergency release device.- Choose an outdoor meeting place, such as a tree, light pole, or mailbox, a safe distance from your home where everyone can gather after escaping.- Make arrangements to assist infants, older adults, individuals with mobility limitations, and children who may not wake up when the smoke alarm sounds.- If a smoke alarm sounds, get outside immediately and follow your escape plan. Know your exits and meet your family at your designated outdoor meeting place.- Once you're outside, stay outside! Never go back into a burning building. If someone is missing, notify the fire department dispatcher and let firefighters handle the rescue.** Don't Forget About Furnace Safety!**As temperatures drop and residents begin turning on their furnaces, the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal (OSFM) reminds everyone to have their furnaces inspected and cleaned annually by a licensed HVAC technician to help ensure safe operation throughout the heating season.For additional home fire escape planning tips, visit the National Fire Protection Association:www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/Staying-safe/Preparedness/Escape-planningLet's take this opportunity to make safety a priority.
