We "Spring Ahead" Sunday Morning (KELA Radio, Centralia, WA)

(CENTRALIA, WA) -- We “spring ahead” one hour at 2 AM this Sunday morning as we begin Daylight Saving Time.  Local fire department officials say when you change your clocks it’s also a good time to change the batteries in the smoke detectors in your home.  Captain Casey Beck with the Chehalis Fire Department says if your smoke detector is more than five years old you should consider replacing it with a new one.  He says smoke detectors now on the market have newer technology.  Beck says combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are available that could help protect you from two silent killers.
