Set Back Time and Check Smoke Alarms Today

Today as Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 5, 2023, the American Red Cross encourages everyone to test their smoke alarms as they turn back their clocks, to help stay safe from home fires. Seven people lose their lives to home fires every day in United States.

Test your smoke alarms, and replace the batteries if needed. Visit redcross.org/fire for more information, including an Escape Plan to create and practice with your family. Download the free Red Cross Emergency app, by searching “American Red Cross” in app stores.
