The Chapel Hill Fire Department suggests residents check fire alarms when changing their clocks on Nov. 5 and Nov. 6.
A fire department press release said that it is a good idea to choose an annual date to check fire devices to ensure that they are in working order.
Anyone with questions or concerns can call the fire department, according to the release.
Those without fire alarms can be provided them free of charge through a fire department program, the release says.
