OXENDINE REMINDS GEORGIANS: "CHANGE YOUR CLOCK, CHANGE YOUR BATTERY"

"Approximately one-third of Georgia's fire fatalities last year

involved homes that didn't have smoke alarms, or where the alarms

didn't function," Oxendine said. "If you have a smoke alarm,

make sure it's in working order. Changing the battery every year

and cleaning dust from the device is an easy way to ensure continued protection

of your family and your property. Remember, having a working smoke alarm

doubles your chances of surviving a home fire."

The Commissioner added that

families should plan and rehearse an escape route and a meeting place

outside the home that they can use in the event of a fire.

Daylight

saving time ends Sunday, October 26, at 2 a.m. when clocks are set back

one hour.
