Be sure to change your clocks Saturday night, since Sunday, March 8, is the day the time "springs forward" by one hour. The official time change is at 2 a.m. Sunday.
The attempt is to shift the activities of the day an hour for more daylight. For 2015, daylight saving time begins the second Sunday in March and ends the first Sunday in November.
The time change is a good reminder to change batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
According to California City Fire Chief Allen Smith, it's easier to remember to change batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors if they are changed at the same time the clocks are changed.
Most buildings have smoke detectors, but Smith said firefighters often find the detectors with dead batteries or no batteries. Smoke detectors often make an ear-piercing shriek when battery power is low. As a result, the battery is sometimes removed to get rid of the noise. If there is no battery handy at the time and the detector is quiet, it is easy to forget to replace it. If the detector's warning is needed at some late time, it no longer functions.
