Daylight saving time ends this weekend

Here we go again.

Days are getting shorter. Evening commutes are getting darker. And phrases like “time to fall back” are beginning to pepper conversations.

You guessed it. Daylight saving time ends this weekend – at 2 a.m. Sunday, to be exact.

As you’re setting back those clocks an hour, it’s a good time to check batteries on smoke alarms, state Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens said.

In Georgia, 90 people died in 69 residential fires in 2016, according to Hudgens’ office. Only three of the homes had a working smoke alarm, records show.
