(CENTRALIA, WA) -- We “fall back” Sunday morning as Daylight Saving Time ends and we return to Standard Time. Local fire department officials remind you to change the batteries in your home smoke detectors when you reset your clocks for the time change. Chief Rick Mack with Riverside Fire Authority says having a functioning smoke detector doubles your chance of surviving a home fire. He says should also replace your smoke detectors if they are ten years old or older. Mack also says in addition to having working smoke detectors, you should have an escape plan for getting out of your residence in the event of a fire.
