FDNY Kicks Off 93rd Annual National Fire Prevention Week at Rockefeller Center

October 9, 2018

FDNY will celebrate National Fire Prevention Week on Tuesday, October 9th at 12 p.m. at Rockefeller Center. Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro will swear in more than 300 junior Firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). The junior Firefighters and EMT’s will pledge an oath designed to remind children to practice fire safety and share it with their family and friends.

“National Fire Prevention Week is a reminder for all New Yorkers to gain knowledge and practice critical fire safety tips to keep themselves and their loved ones safe” said Commissioner Nigro. “From having a working smoke alarm to closing the door when escaping a fire, these simple but effective tips will save lives and help to prevent tragedies from occurring.”

FDNY Fire Prevention Week will be held from October 9th through October 13th. Annually, the FDNY provides outreach programs to educate New Yorkers by promoting safe practices and techniques at various locations throughout the five boroughs.
