This past November 4th marks the 25th anniversary of the Energizer annual Change Your Clock Change Your Battery® program. Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) have once again worked with local fire departments nationwide to raise awareness on the importance of working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in 
helping to keep families safe in their homes. 38% of fatal fire injuries occur in homes with no smoke alarms, while 24% occur in homes in which at least one smoke alarm is present but fails to operate, frequently due to dead or missing batteries. Wow!
If you haven’t already, or just forgot, remember to change the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. The easiest way to remember is to do it when you turn the clock back – it could help save a life! Don’t forget to check out the Energizer Fire Safety Info tab on Facebook for fire safety tips, an escape grid, and fun activities for kids.

Hi there! I'm Jenny, a coffee-addicted, busy-body, work at home mom of two insane boys age 10 & 4. I'm married to my best friend, obsessed with the Packers, and I love to cook, read, and design blogs.
Not yet, but thanks for the reminder !
We've talked about it, but haven't done it yet.
We changed them out, and added a new smoke detector!
I actually didn't! Thanks for reminding me!
yes we did
My landlord changed ours
I didn't change them last weekend, but I actually just changed them today! Better late then never ;)
I didn't but my girlfriend did!
No, we forgot. Amy W.
No I did not remember, thanks for the reminder
Yes I changed mine
I changed all of mine.
Kinda. We changed our main level. We still have to change 6 in our basement.
We always change the batteries at daylight savings
No, I changed them earlier this month.
I realized i left out a letter on my email address when I started submitting entries. I put jlcalwe instead of jlcaldwe. I think I made it mad when i tried to fix it. Sorry!
I need to check my smoke alarm. Thank for the reminder!
We don't change our clocks in Arizona, so I didn't think about it, but I'll remind my husband this weekend. Thanks.
We didn't but its a new home!
Yes my 8yr old reminded me
We didnt change them, but we did check them all.
Thanks!
Yes, we changed ours.
yes I remembered
I did not because my alarms beep when the batteries need to be changed
Yep! we did
My smoke detector went wacky on me a couple of months ago so I haven't gotten a new one yet. Thanks for the giveaway! :-)
No, I did not change batteries!
I did not. My units beep when the batteries are low, I change them at that point.
I forgot :/
Bought them but haven't changed it yet
We have forgotten, just havent done it yet!
No, I am use to changing them every year on New Years Day...maybe I should change that day
We did remember but havent purchased any batteries for them yet. Little slow on that but will get it done soon.
I never remember this one. We don't change our clocks in Arizona, and our smoke and CO2 detectors are wired into the house power. They might have batteries (in case of power outage), but... I can't reach them =( I'll ask the hubs. Thanks for the reminder!
I actually forgot-thank you, for the reminder! It is late but will do, tomorrow.
Yes, we did.
