Fire Department
Structural fires caused by lithium-ion batteries are up so far in 2025 compared to 2024.
In a new Public Service Announcement (PSA), the FDNY is reminding New Yorkers that the safest place to charge and store lithium-ion batteries is outside, where possible.
The FDNY and the FDNY Foundation released the latest episode of the FDNY Pro Podcast on March 28. LISTEN TO THE EPISODE!
In an emergency, every second counts. When a fire breaks out, firefighters rely on quick and easy access to fire hydrants to control flames and save lives.
Check out FDNYSmart.org for fire hydrant safety information.
