Louisiana State Fire Marshal (SFM) Chief Chad P. Sonnier urges residents to test their alarms this
weekend as clocks "fall back" one hour for the end of Daylight Saving Time on Sunday, November 1, at 2 a.m.
Residential fires have killed 55 Louisianans so far this year. Only four of those fatal fires occurred in homes with working smoke alarms.
This Sunday, remember to:
- Set your clocks back 1 hour
- Test your smoke alarms to make sure they are working. A working smoke alarm can make all the difference — it can save lives!
- Replace batteries if needed
- Take a moment to review your family's fire escape plan
