National Fire Protection Association, Daylight Saving Time Article
National Fire Protection Association encourages everyone to use Daylight Saving Time, aka DST,  to mark the time of year you check on your Smoke Detectors. This would be a good routine to make sure batteries in your smoke detectors are replaced and all your smoke detectors are in working order. 
The article specifically states to check on smoke detectors as DST begins.  I suspect is because the article was written in March. For me and my household, we use both Spring Forward and Fall Back to make sure our family is properly protected.
