During the winter storms, we caution about the slick roads and dangerous conditions that can cause automobile accidents or a pedestrian accident as we scurry across parking lots and crosswalks on the way to a shopping mall. However, this time of year we also test the capacity of our electrical outlets and extension cords with our Christmas trees and lights strung inside and out. Test your smoke detectors (and your carbon monoxide detector, if you have one) by pushing the test button and holding for 10 seconds. If either the smoke detector or the carbon monoxide detector doesn’t work it is time to replace!
