Making sure all the clocks are correct is not the only thing you should be checking this weekend.
City of Kenora Fire Chief Todd Skene tells us we should also be looking at our smoke detectors.
“We have our time change coming up,” says Skene, “and one of the things we promote as fire services across the country is that it’s a good time to check your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and to change out their batteries.”
He explains that a working alarm could be the difference for you and your family.
