LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — With the days getting shorter, it’s once again time to turn the clocks back for fall.
Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 7. It began on Sunday, March 14.
Clocks will go back one hour in order to adjust for the shorter days.
Daylight saving time goes into effect on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November, dates established by Congress in the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
Cal Fire uses the time change to remind people to check safety features in homes, including smoke alarms and making sure batteries are charged.
Smoke alarms should be installed in all sleeping rooms, hallways that lead to sleeping areas, basements and each additional level of the home because most fatal fires occur at night, Cal Fire reported.
For more information about smoke alarms visit Cal Fire’s Web site at www.fire.ca.gov or contact your local fire department.
