With daylight-saving time ending Sunday, Nov. 7, now is a great time to remind people to check, change and test the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. This message is simple, and the habit can be life-saving. Joining us this morning is Chief Al Gillespie, International Association of Fire Chiefs First Vice President, to tell us about some of these simple life-saving habits we can adopt this time of year to help keep ourselves, family, friends and neighbors safe and how we can help share this reminder with others. Thanks for joining us Chief Gillespie.
