FDNY Hosts Citywide Open House Event

October 17, 2025

Meet local firefighters, paramedics, and EMTs and learn lifesaving fire safety tips

On Saturday, October 18 and Sunday, October 19, the FDNY will host a citywide Open House event. More than 200 firehouses and EMS Stations will open their doors to the public from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. and 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. Open House locations and the hours for each location are listed on the FDNY's interactive map.

Media are invited to attending the Open House on Saturday at Engine 307/Ladder 154 in Queens at 11:00 AM OR on Sunday at Engine 282/Ladder 148 in Brooklyn at 11:00 AM. Media must RSVP to FDNYOPI@fdny.nyc.gov to attend.

Members will educate the public about fire and life safety, conduct demonstrations, discuss careers in the FDNY, and offer tours of firehouse apparatus. FDNY members will give away smoke alarms, fire safety literature, coloring books, and fire helmets for children – generously donated by the FDNY Foundation to raise awareness of fire safety and prevention. Community members can also register for free smoke/CO alarm installations.

Throughout the event, all FDNY units will remain in service to respond to fires and medical emergencies.
