On Sunday, March 09, 2025, Standard Time returns to Daylight Savings Time at 2:00 a.m., so get ready to put your clocks ahead.
The St. John’s Regional Fire Department wishes to remind everyone that as you change your clocks this weekend, change the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms. Protect yourself and your family from fire and carbon monoxide dangers in your home. Fresh batteries are necessary to keep alarms working, so they can alert you and your family, and give you time to escape an emergency.
By practicing the following safety tips, your chances of surviving a fire will be significantly increased.
We remind citizens that batteries of any type are not to be disposed of in the garbage as they can pose a serious fire hazard in your home, community or landfill. Batteries are a household hazardous waste and can be disposed of free-of-charge at the Robin Hood Bay Waste Management Facility on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or can be dropped off at a participating battery recycling retailer, find one near you at www.call2recycle.ca.
