Oakville Deputy Fire Chief Andy Glynn holds a smoke alarm and replacement 9v battery alongside Sparky, the fire safety mascot, holding a CO alarm and clock. | Graham Paine/Metroland Spring into Daylight Saving Time safely: Oakville Fire Don't forget to change your clocks -- move them ahead one hour -- and CO alarm batteries before you go to bed Saturday night, says Oakville Fire. With Daylight Saving Time (DST) occurring Sunday, March 12, the Oakville Fire Department is reminding residents to change their smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm batteries, too, when they adjust their clocks. Ontario law requires all homes to have working CO and smoke alarms, with the latter needed on every level of the home and outside each sleeping area. If you have a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace or attached garage in the home, install CO alarms out side of all sleeping areas. Alarms should be tested once a month by push ing the test button.
