   Change Your Clock Change Your Battery- Chief Rob Herrin HCFR

   Sunday (Nov 1st) Florida and most of the nation go back to standard time, setting clocks one hour earlier. For years, safety experts and fire departments have reminded us to "Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery" in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarm. But the message is different now, as newer smoke alarms hit the market. We speak with Public Safety Chief Rob Herrin of Hillsborough Fire Rescue.

   Flying Police Car - Florida Poly Police Chief Aaron Murray

   Florida Polytechnic University in Lakeland burnishes its reputation on the cutting edge of technology. Florida Poly's university police department says it's the first in the nation to use an electric vertical takeoff and landing (E-VTOL) patrol vehicle. Flying car technology is already being tested nearby at the SunTrax site in Auburndale. We speak with University Police Chief Aaron Murray about how the aircraft will be used in law enforcement and education. (Photo: Florida Polytechnic University.)

   Pinellas Helicopter Mosquito Spraying - Brian Pellerin

   Pinellas County is the latest Tampa Bay area to go to helicopter spraying targeting larvae of the mosquito species implicated in the recent outbreak of locally transmitted dengue fever. Spraying could begin as soon as Friday (10-23), depending on aviation and weather factors, using a helicopter from Lee County. County public information officer Brian Pellerin explains why they use that type of helicopter, how to find out if your neighborhood is being sprayed, and why the solution they're spraying isn't harmful to adults, children or pets but very damaging to the skeeters.
