It’s hard to believe but we will “spring ahead” this weekend as we move the clocks ahead one hour Saturday night.  New Ulm Fire Chief Paul Macho says when you do that, check your smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector batteries.   Macho also said in addition to checking the battery, make sure it’s working.  If it isn’t working and you need a new detector but don’t know how to install it, he said you can call the fire department and they can either talk you through it or send someone out to help you install it.  Set your clocks ahead one hour Saturday night before you go to bed or if you are up at 2 am Sunday morning, do it then.
