This ‘spring ahead’ will begin at 2 a.m. on Sunday and means that we will get more daylight and the sun will set later.

The sun is expected to set at 7:17 p.m. on Sunday.

It is common practice to change batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide alarms during daylight savings time to ensure they are in working order for the rest of the year.

“In order for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to do their job, they need to be working,” said Fire Chief Chris Snetsinger. "Check the expiry date and test every alarm. Be sure to change the batteries if you do not have a wired or 10-year battery sealed alarm.”

It’s the law to have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in all homes.
