Change Your Clock Change Your Smoke Detector Battery
By Chief Al Schwartz
November 5, 2011
The members of the Beltsville VFD would like you to remember as you change your clock back one hour for daylight savings that you also take the time to change your battery in your smoke detectors. We ask that all residents have a least one working smoke detector and if possible a working smoke detector on every floor of your home to have proper coverage.
Personnel from the Beltsville VFD will be out in the community on Sunday November 6, 2011 checking smoke detectors. If you have any questions or you need assistance checking your detector, please contact us at (301) 937-3160 (Beltsville Station) or (301) 937-2596 (Calverton Station).
