Save Some Daylight! Almost Time to Turn Back the Clocks!

Ooops!  See all the folks in this picture? They’re looking up at the clock in the town square and realizing they all arrived at work an hour early!


So . . . Don’t forget to turn back your clock at 2am on Sunday, November 3rd!

Evanston Fire & Life Safety Services is proactively reminding everyone to also remember to change the batteries in all your home’s smoke and CO detectors.

As an incentive to get on board with this safety measure, Evanston’s firefighters/paramedics will be handing out batteries at the Central St. CTA station and the Davis St. and Main St. commuter train stations from 5:30-6:30pm on Fri., Nov. 1.

Smoke detectors save lives and approximately two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke detectors or no working smoke detectors. To learn about the best detectors to have in your home and safety tips, click here.
