Spring foward

Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John W. Oxendine wants to remind Georgians that they must change their clocks to daylight saving time earlier this year – and they should also change the batteries in their smoke alarms at the same time.

Oxendine also recommended changing batteries in flashlights and weather radios, and having an emergency plan in place in case severe weather threatens.

Last year there were 15 fire fatalities in dwellings with no smoke detectors, and two fatalities involving non-working detectors, Oxendine said.

Daylight saving time begins Sunday, March 14 at 2 a.m., when clocks are set ahead one hour.
