Fall Back! Daylight Savings Time Ends

Daylight Saving Time will end on Sunday morning at 2 am local time for essentially the entire nation.  The exceptions include Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa.

In 1966, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act, which standardized the length of Daylight-Saving Time. The Energy Policy Act passed in 2005 extended Daylight-Saving Time across the nation. Daylight Saving Time will end on the first Sunday in November: tomorrow morning.

As you turn back the clock, Fire and Rescue Departments EVERY WHERE advise people to:

  • check Smoke Detectors & change batteries
  • check Carbon Monoxide Detectors & change batteries
  • create a fire evacuation plan for your home
  • replace Furnace filters
