Change your clocks, change your batteries!

This weekend, we move the clocks forward one hour for daylight savings time.

While you’re changing your clocks, you might want to check your fire and carbon monoxide alarms.

It’s an important item that’s essential to alerting occupants of a home to the presence of a fire, according to Campbell River Deputy Fire Chief Chris Vrabel.

This tip comes after a fire caused extensive damage to the roof of a Campbell River home earlier this week.

There were 4 occupants in the building, but they all managed to escape unharmed.
