Change Your Clocks, Change Your Batteries

It’s that time of year again and the Truro Fire Department would like to remind everyone “CHANGE YOUR CLOCKS, CHANGE YOUR BATTERIES.”  The clocks fall behind on November 3rd , and this is a good time to change your smoke and carbon monoxide alarm batteries.  We also recommend vacuuming them with the brush attachment to rid them of any dust or spiders that may have moved in and may cause false alarms.  If you have any questions regarding smoke and carbon monoxide alarms please feel free to call 508-487-8730.

Woodstoves and Fireplaces

This is also the time of year we begin to use our woodstoves and fireplaces.  Check out this link for helpful safety information provided by the State Fire Marshal.  http://www.mass.gov/eopss/docs/dfs/dfs-briefs/october-2013/10-chimney-and-woodstovefiresafety.pdf
