If your #SmokeAlarms & #CarbonMonoxide alarms take alkaline batteries, replace the batteries when you change your clocks! Check the manufacturing date printed on the back, too: replace smoke alarms after 10 yrs and CO alarms according to the make/model (usually 5, 7, or 10 yrs).

When choosing costumes, avoid loose fabric and features that dangle or drag behind the child. Keep costume sleeves tight. Look for a fabric label that reads “flame-resistant” or “flame-retardant.” #halloween #FireSafetyTips #FirePrevention
