With daylight savings time ending on Sunday (November 5th), ReadyWisconsin is encouraging everyone across the state to use this as a time to address tasks that can help protect your life and property.
While adjusting any electronic devices to the time change ReadyWisconsin suggests also taking time to check batteries in smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide alarms and replace them if needed.
This will ensure the devices are working properly considering most people tend to use various heating devices like furnaces and fireplaces more regularly in the winter months.
Some other safety maintenance items to attend to include preparing a winter emergency kit for your vehicle, checking fire extinguishers, and sustaining home heating equipment.
