SUMMARY: Ja’Colbi Rivers spoke with the Biloxi Fire Chief, who says having a working smoke detector can help prevent major fires. The Chief also emphasizes the importance of regularly checking and cleaning smoke alarms, especially as we enter the season of resetting our clocks for daylight savings. He recommends checking smoke alarms outside each bedroom and sleeping with the bedroom closed to prevent smoke and heat from leaving. The Chief suggests using certain woods like oaks and hickories in fireplaces and encourages homeowners and apartment residents to ask for a fire crew to check or change their smoke alarms if needed.

‘Tis the season to reset your clocks as daylight savings comes to an end. It’s also the time to check up on a lifesaving device in your home.
