It’s time to change your clocks and check your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms! ⏰🏠

✅ Daylight Saving Time Fire Safety Checklist

⏰ Change your clocks: Daylight Saving Time ends tomorrow, Sunday, November 1, 2026. We turn our clocks back one hour.

We ask that you do the following:

🔋 Replace batteries: Install fresh batteries in smoke alarms and CO detectors unless they use sealed, 10-year batteries.

🧪 Test every alarm: Press the test button to confirm each device works.

🚨 Check expiration dates: Replace expired or end-of-life alarms according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't see a manufacturer's date on the alarm, that is a strong clue the alarm is more than 10 years old.

🏠 Check placement: Make sure smoke alarms are installed on every level of your home and inside and outside sleeping areas. Install CO alarms on each level and near sleeping areas.

🧹 Keep alarms clean; many times, dust or small insects can enter the chamber and set off the alarm. Dusting monthly will help limit false alarms.

AND MOST OF ALL; Never disconnect a smoke or CO alarm because of nuisance alarms. If a smoke or CO alarm sounds, move everyone outdoors to fresh air and call 911 or your local emergency number.

Remember: Working alarms save lives.

National Fire Prevention Week

This week, the nation celebrates National Fire Prevention Week, a time dedicated to increasing awareness about fire safety and reminding everyone that fire prevention is something we all have a role in.

This year’s theme is:

CHARGE INTO FIRE SAFETY: Safe Charging is a Superpower!

As we recognize Fire Prevention Week across the country, it is important to remember that fire and life safety is not just a responsibility for firefighters—it is a responsibility we all share.

The everyday choices we make can help prevent fires and protect the people we care about. From charging our electronic devices safely and recognizing the hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries, to maintaining working smoke alarms and having a home escape plan, small actions can make a lifesaving difference.

Make fire and life safety a habit—not just something we think about during Fire Prevention Week.

Take the time to learn, share what you know, and practice fire-safe habits with your family, coworkers, students, and community.

Charge safely. Prevent fires. Protect lives.

This Fire Prevention Week, let’s all CHARGE INTO FIRE SAFETY!

Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost and the heroes who answered the call on September 11, 2001.

We also honor the members of the Greenbelt Volunteer Fire Department who responded to the Pentagon that day, serving alongside countless others during one of our nation’s darkest moments.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Friday, members of the department gathered with the family and friends of President, Past Deputy Chief, and Life Member Gregory V. Gigliotti to say our final farewell and, most importantly, to say thank you.

Thank you, Greg, for your leadership, your service, your dedication to the fire service, and above all, your friendship. Your impact on our department and the countless lives you touched will not be forgotten.

Greg, you are deeply missed, but your spirit of service and love for the fire department will carry on through all of us who had the privilege of knowing you.

Rest easy, sir. We have it from here.

GVFD would like to thank all of the units that came to support the services for President Gigliotti.
