Daylight Saving time switch comes Sunday morning

You will be able to get a little extra sleep on Sunday morning.

Clocks will go back one hour this Sunday. Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m, November 2nd and starts again in March of next year.

The current time system used across the country was established with the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Only two states, Hawaii and Arizona, do not observe Daylight Saving Time. There are proposed bills every year that would end the time change and make Daylight Saving Time permanent.

With clocks falling back on Sunday, fire officials say this is a great time for families to review fire safety planning and inspect or replace smoke alarms in the home. Firefighters recommend that smoke alarm batteries be replaced twice a year, while alarms should be tested once a month. Smoke alarms that were manufactured 10 or more years ago, should be replaced. Authorities say that a smoke alarm’s manufacture date is typically found on the back of the device.
