FDNY & Flying Karamazov Brothers: Safety's Hot, Fire's Not

The FDNY, the FDNY Foundation and the Flying Karamazov Brothers (FKB) partnered to produce the fire safety video, titled "Safety's Hot, Fire's Not." In addition, this collaboration has produced a public service announcement campaign (detectors and candles) focusing on the importance of having a working smoke detector and the dangers of unattended candles.

The video, which was funded by the FDNY Foundation, features real FDNY firefighters, paramedics and EMTs side-by-side with the FKB, as they sing, dance, juggle and teach fire safety information to viewers of all ages. The music is an original song written by the FKB, with lyrics based on actual FDNY fire safety tips; including the importance of an escape plan and how to be fire safe in the kitchen.

This entertaining fire safety video and public service announcement campaign is the latest endeavor by the FDNY and the FDNY Foundation to bring the vital message of fire safety to the public. In 2010, the FDNY Foundation funded 6,379 educational fire safety presentations that reached 600,000 New Yorkers. At those events, the FDNY and the Foundation worked together to distribute 25,000 smoke alarms and 100,000 batteries in all five boroughs.
