Don’t forget to Spring forward for Daylight Saving Time

JACKSON, Tenn.—It’s time to Spring Forward!

Don’t forget to turn those clocks forward one hour before going to bed Saturday night. On Sunday, March 10 at 2.a.m. time moves forward one hour in observance of Daylight Saving Time.

Daylight Saving Time is observed annually on every second Sunday in March.

Although many people hate the thought of losing an hour of sleep, it’s nice to know that the days will now offer an additional hour of sunlight for outdoor activities.

The time change can also prompt reminders for other important changes, such as checking your smoke detectors.

According to the Madison County Fire Department’s social media page, “Only working smoke alarms save lives.”

The prompt to change the clocks can also serve as the perfect time to test your smoke detectors and change needed batteries.

If you live in the Madison County area, MCFD says, “If you need new smoke alarms or have a malfunction, call the Madison County Fire Department for free alarms and installation at (731) 424-5577.
