Change Your Clocks, Change Your Batteries This Sunday

Change Your Clocks, Change Your Batteries, via CB14

This Sunday, March 10 is the beginning of daylight saving time, and Community Board 14 and the FDNY remind you that when you change your clocks, you should also change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

This week, the FDNY’s 2013 Change Your Clocks, Change Your Batteries campaign is underway, and their Fire Safety Education Unit will be handing out free 9-volt batteries for those smoke and carbon monoxide detectors at many locations around the five boroughs.

The closest distribution location to our neighborhood will be the corner of Coney Island Avenue and Avenue L on Thursday, March 7 from 12-4pm.
