 Life is good all this month at Appalachian Wireless. Get the LG G5 for just one penny with sign-up or renewal of a two-year service agreement. That's almost $100 off the regular price. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Much like our clock springing forward, another change should happen this week, the batteries in our smoke detectors. Fire officials are reminding homeowners to be smart and think about safety. Officials say ignoring something so simple could have catastrophic results. If you're asleep in your home and you have smoke or carbon monoxide buildup, it's not like the movies. You don't wake up coughing and going on. Before the smoke gets there, you can actually have the carbon monoxide even from a fire. Lindsay points out when it's time to change the batteries and smoke alarms, it's also a good idea to share information and safety tips with children. When you replace the battery, push the test button. We recommend that if you have small children in the house, bring them all into the room where the smoke detector is and let them know what that sound is. That way at night, if they hear that noise, they'll know what to do. Do a pre-plan. We recommend a safe place at the end of the driveway, a big tree in the yard, the neighbor's mailbox. Also, Lindsay adds, with the ever-changing weather, many are using alternative heating sources instead of turning the heat on and off multiple times within the week. He says it's a good idea to read the manual before using those sources inside a home. Most of them are not designed for extension cords, but they'll have recommendations how far they have to be away from an item, know how to properly fuel them. You know, Kara's saying here we had an incident where a person was unfamiliar with one, they attempted to refuel it in the home, follow the manufacturer's instructions. And remember to also change the batteries in your smoke detectors when the time changes again in the fall. Reporting in Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.
