Bright and early Sunday morning, you will need to adjust your clocks one hour ahead for Daylight Saving time.
While they are at it, some people use this day to not only change their clocks but to make other changes to their home as well, ensuring safe living conditions.
Other things to check include extension chords and clutter..anything that could pose a threat and cause a possible house fire.
Becker says make sure you do not use extension chords daily, but only when needed. Another thing Becker says most people forget about checking regularly is this...
"CO detectors...check those too. Some plug into the wall and you have a tendency to forget they're there if they don't go off. See how old they are," says Mike Becker, a firefighter Paramedic at Wausau Fire Department.
Many Carbon Monoxide Detectors have multiple beeps, so checking to see what each different beep mean also helps prevent a harmful situation. Still, there is more you can do to protect your home.
Becker says using daylight saving as a time to prepare your home for the year is a great idea but that safety precautions should always be taken.
