Daylight saving time ends this weekend. The weather’s still mild in North Texas, which makes it the easiest time to knock out your home safety checklist before the holidays and the first cold snap.
This weekend’s safety checklist:
⏰ Change your smoke alarm batteries and test your alarms
⏰ Test your carbon monoxide alarms
⏰ Keep fire pits and outdoor heaters at least 10 feet from your house, fences, and anything that can burn
⏰ Have your heater checked now, before you need it, and know where your water shutoff valve is
⏰ Stay in the kitchen while you’re cooking, especially with holiday meals coming up
⏰ Practice your escape route and check your fire extinguisher and first aid kit
A few minutes on a nice weekend can save you a lot of trouble later.
