Time to change batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide alarms

Missouri State Fire Marshal Tim Bean recommends Missourians use the return of daylight saving time this weekend to change the batteries and test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. 

At 2 a.m. Sunday, March 13, clocks spring forward one hour. 

Bean also urges families to practice their fire escape plans.  

Safety experts recommend families practice their home escape plans at least twice each year.
