As the season transitions to spring, the familiar reminder resounds: “Spring forward, change your clock, change your battery.” This simple phrase serves as a vital reminder to adjust our clocks forward to align with daylight saving time and to take a moment to ensure the batteries in our smoke detectors and other essential devices are fresh. It’s a small yet significant ritual, symbolizing not just the shift in time but also a commitment to safety and preparedness as we embrace the longer days and the promise of renewal that spring brings.
