This week is a big one in our household. Not only am I preparing for Halloween like the rest of the country, It is also my son’s 4th Birthday on Saturday! Follow that by a time change, and we’ve got ourselves a perfect weekend! Unfortunately it all takes some preparation! This week I have been frantically cutting out Tractors while thinking of items I need for the birthday party: decorations, food, games, Oh yeah – and Halloween Candy to pass out to the trick-or-treaters. In all of that, I can’t forget that changing my clocks back also mean it’s time to check and change the batteries in the smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in my home.
Upon quick inspection of the alarms in our home, I see that we had pulled a smoke alarm because of that annoying Chirp! I didn’t even know we were missing this one! This is exactly why it’s good to check.
Energizer has partnered with the International Association of Fire Chiefs for 27 years to keep families safe through the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery program. These teams work closely together to remind the world of the simple, yet life-changing habit of changing and testing the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when setting the clocks back for daylight saving time. A few extra seconds of work that can save the lives of your family if an emergency arises. 
To promote the program, Energizer is donating a quarter of a million batteries this fall to fire departments across the country to distribute to families in their communities. Together, Energizer and local fire departments will host Fire Safety Awareness events throughout October – which is National Fire Prevention Month, until the end of daylight saving time on Sunday, November 2, 2014. Local firefighters and the Energizer Bunny will be making public appearances at these fun-filled family events.
Fire Safety Events
Energizer is hosting several fire safety events across the country this fall as part of the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery program, where visitors can get life-saving information and some Energizer items. The Energizer bunny will also make an appearance!
