SUMMARY: As we “fall back” this weekend, the Aberdeen Fire Department emphasizes the importance of checking smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in homes. It’s crucial to have functioning smoke detectors in every bedroom, hallway, and sleeping area. Carbon monoxide detectors are vital for homes using natural gas, as this gas is invisible and odorless.
