Daylight saving begins this weekend – put clocks forward one hour on September 24.

At the same time, the fire service suggests it’s a good time to check that your smoke alarms are working.

This year Fire and Emergency NZ is working with Bunnings in Silverdale to make sure everyone’s smoke alarms are in working order while encouraging people to install new long-life photoelectric smoke alarms if needed.

Bunnings Silverdale will run free DIY workshops on how to select and install a smoke alarm on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 September at 12:30pm each day.
