Set your clocks back before you go to sleep Saturday night

Don’t forget, the time will come this weekend to set your clocks back one hour.

Daylight saving time will end on Sunday at 2 a.m.

As clocks are falling back, Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services says it’s a good time to check smoke detectors and furnace filters.

If a smoke detector is more than 10 years old, it needs to be replaced.

“The amount of time we had to escape a home 10 years ago has been cut in more than half now just with the materials used to make products and furniture,” said Troy Hicks, Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services’ chief fire marshal.

“So every second does count, and making sure you have working smoke detectors is just one of the easiest and safest things you can do in your home.”

As we turn our clocks back, we will gain an extra hour of sleep Sunday morning.
