Giveaway for smoke detector batteries

In an effort to encourage Brick residents to change the batteries in their smoke detectors during daylight saving time, the Brick Bureau of Fire Safety and local fire companies will be supplied with a limited amount of 9-volt batteries to give away.

The batteries, courtesy of Costco, 465 Route 70, and Lowe's, 520 Route 70, will be handed out 10 a.m. Nov. 1 at both locations.
