“The message cannot be simpler: Smoke Alarms Save Lives,” said Fire Commissioner Nigro.

I commend the Mayor and Commissioner Nigro and all the partners in this vitally important initiative, which we fully support and are proud to be partners.” “My colleagues in the Council have been working hard to get this message out and will continue through this initiative to help protect the people in every community in our city. “The unspeakable tragedy last March where seven young children died in a fire in Brooklyn was a wake- up call for everyone in our city: you must have a working smoke alarm in your home to protect your family,” said Speaker Viverito.

The #GetAlarmedNYC initiative was spurred by the tragic deaths of seven children last March - all from the same family - in a fire in Midwood, Brooklyn. “This is an extraordinary partnership between the Mayor’s Office, the FDNY, the entire City Council and our non-profit friends at the American Red Cross and FDNY Foundation along with our friends in business who are also devoted to making a difference in protecting our citizens.” “While the city has dramatically reduced the number of fire deaths we see annually, the fact is people – especially the very young and old alike – continue to die in fires and we’re launching this program because we know it will save lives,” said Mayor de Blasio. The fire and life safety initiative will provide free installation of 100,000 Kidde combination smoke/carbon monoxide alarms to tens of thousands of city residents, targeting communities that are the greatest risk of fire according to statistics and analysis done by the FDNY. #GetAlarmedNYC is the largest smoke alarm giveaway and installation program in the country. Mayor Bill de Blasio, Council Speaker Melissa Mark Viverito, Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro, FDNY Foundation Chairman Stephen Ruzow and NY Red Cross CEO Josh Lockwood announced the launch of a new fire safety program – #GetAlarmedNYC – on Mon., Nov. FDNY Foundation and City Officials Encourage New Yorkers to #GetAlarmedNYC!
