When  moving clocks forward one hour, take time to change and  test the batteries in smoke  alarms.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\u201cSmoke alarms most often fail because of missing, dead or   disconnected batteries so maintenance is a simple, effective way to   protect you and your family,\u201d says State Fire Marshal Charles M. Duffy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Warnings from smoke alarms can provide those critical extra seconds   people need to get out of their homes safely. Plan, discuss and practice   escape routes with your household members. Being prepared and knowing   what to do in the event of a fire can save lives.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>In 2013, approximately 20 percent of fire deaths in Washington State   occurred in homes without working smoke alarms and the peak time for   home fire fatalities is between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. when most families   are sleeping. Ensuring smoke alarms are operational is critical to life   safety. Smoke alarms are designed to detect the presence of smoke and   alert occupants to danger.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>For more information about fire safety, visit the State Fire Marshal website at <a title=\"fire\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wsp.wa.gov\/fire\/firemars.htm\" target=\"_self\">www.wsp.wa.gov\/fire\/firemars.htm<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the time change approaches on Sunday, March 9, the Washington State Fire Marshal\u2019s Office reminds residents that one easy step can help save their lives \u2013 changing the batteries in their smoke alarms.
