It's been pretty much non-stop busy for the High River Fire Department's Fire Prevention Officer, Clayton Rutberg.

Rutberg, who came to the Department following the 2013 flood on a temporary basis, has turned that into a permanent, full time job.

He says one of his big responsibilities is making sure local business are up to snuff on fire safety procedures.

"We're trying to hit all the businesses in High River in a year, to make sure that everything's keeping up after the flood, not even relating it back to the flood, but trying to keep it up all the time as well."

As well with the time change behind us, we should all have fresh new batteries in all our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

But do we have enough of them in our homes to protect us?

Rutberg says, probably not.

"For smoke detectors now, they say that you should have one in every sleeping area, and in the hallways outside the sleeping area. And make sure there's one on each level of the home. And for carbon monoxide detectors as well. Have one on each level of your home."

Rutberg says it's not retro-active, to have that many detectors in an older home.

But he says it's a good idea to install them in bedrooms and other areas of the house they may be needed in to ensure you and your family are safe.

But he says any new construction will come with multiple detectors around the house.
