Fire Safety During the Holidays

It's the most wonderful time of the year! And it's also the time where fire emergencies and burn injuries increase. In this episode of Health In Harlem, we invited one of New York's Bravest, Lieutenant John Leary of Ladder 15 of the FDNY to discuss the things you can do to safeguard your home and family when it comes to fire awareness and prevention this Holiday season. As always, we wish you the best in health and happiness and the only thing we ask is that you not be selfish with the information you learn on this program. Be safe and enjoy!    Check out the following links for more holiday safety tips: FDNY Winter and Holiday Fire Safety  http://www.nyc.gov/html/fdny/pdf/safety/fire_safety_education/2014/winter_fire_safety_english.pdf FDNY Twitter https://twitter.com/FDNY/status/1336728524535771136 FDNY Fire Safety Education: Residential Apartment Building Fire Safety http://www.nyc.gov/html/fdny/pdf/safety/fire_safety_education/2010_02/07_residential_apartment_fire_safety_english.pdf Gothamist: Fatal Manhattan High-Rise Fire Caused by Overloaded Power Strip- By Jen Chung https://gothamist.com/news/fatal-manhattan-high-rise-fire-caused-by-overloaded-power-strip The New York Times: Trapped by a Fire on the 20th Floor- By Winnie Hu https://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/09/nyregion/trapped-by-a-fire-inside-apartment-20d.html
