Accountability-turn back the clocks

We change our clocks once again this coming weekend. I assume back an hour, fall back and spring forward is the only way I can remember and it is chilly out so.......

This also brings in mind how everyone is accountable and in most cases accountable for others, rather it be at work or home. Below is an article on the death of a young firefighter, evidently his chief officer at the fire did not have everyone accounted for at the fire scene.

Accountability responsibilities:
With the change of time this weekend, you should remember to change the batteries in your smoke detectors. While you are out buying batteries, buy another detector. There is surely room in your home for another.

One thing that is not talked about often, make sure your family has several planned escape routes and a meeting place where everyone can be accounted for.

We always had a large tree in the front yard that was our meeting place and I am happy to say we never had the occasion to meet there.
