At a Public Information Briefing on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, FDNY officials provided an update on a 4-alarm fire at Box 0726 on Staten Island.
The FDNY held its 157th Medal Day Ceremony on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at City Hall Plaza in Manhattan, honoring the lifesaving actions by its members during incidents throughout the previous calendar year. The ceremony, which dates back to 1869, is one of the Department's most time-honored traditions.
If someone near you suddenly collapses, is not breathing, is unresponsive, or has no pulse, they may be in cardiac arrest. You can help save their life.
The FDNY, in collaboration with the New York City Department for the Aging, released a new Public Service Announcement (PSA) on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, offering older New Yorkers a new safety checklist to help keep them safe during fires and emergencies. Older adults (60 years or older) face higher risks of fire injuries and fatalities.
