PRESS RELEASE – October 29, 2007

This Sunday, November 4, 2007 Daylight Savings Time will end, and it will be time to set back your clocks. Please take this opportunity to check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace the batteries. We recommend that smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector batteries be changed twice a year.

The Meridian Fire Department will have 9-volt (square type) batteries available. We invite the public to drop by and pick up a 9-volt battery for their detectors, as these batteries will be available at all fire stations as long as our supplies last. Please make sure your detectors are in good working order.

Stay fire safe!

Jeff L. Homan

Fire Chief
