Four family members died and one was critically injured after a lithium-ion battery caught fire inside a Bronx apartment on Oct. 28. The battery was in the kitchen when it exploded, blocking the apartment's exit and trapping a family inside.
Lithium-ion battery fires can erupt in seconds, spread rapidly, and produce intense heat and toxic smoke.
These fires can be deadly. We are reminding all New Yorkers to take these precautions seriously:
▪️ Charge and store these batteries and devices outside, wherever possible.
▪️ Never block doorways, hallways or exits.
▪️ Only purchase batteries and devices that are certified by a nationally recognized testing lab, like UL.
▪️ Never use damaged or incompatible batteries or chargers.
Following these safety tips can be the difference between life and death. Don't take the risk. Don't ignore the warnings.

More than 50,000 people are expected to take part in New York City's Village Halloween Parade on Oct. 31, a spooky season tradition since 1973.
If you're heading to Manhattan to catch all the action, don't let your viewing spot become a fright!
👻 Keep these safety tips in mind:
➡️ Fire escapes are for emergencies, not parade views. Keep them clear.
➡️ Planning to watch from a rooftop or roof setback? Check with building management first to make sure it's approved for viewing.
Have a safe and happy Halloween from the FDNY! 🎃

🕑 Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend. Remember, only working smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms save lives. When it's time to "fall back," it's also a good time to check and replace any batteries.

The FDNY and FDNY Foundation remind New Yorkers that when you change your clocks remember to test your Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarms. If your alarm uses batteries, Daylight Savings is a great reminder to change them. Working smoke alarms save lives!

The FDNY on Tuesday promoted members of fire operations during a ceremony at the Fire Academy on Randall's Island. Members were promoted to the ranks of Deputy Chief and Lieutenant.
"Promotion ceremonies are extremely important for our Department, and it's a big change for each of you," Chief of Department John Esposito said. "You now join a long line of FDNY leadership, and you carry on the strong tradition that has been the trademark of this Department for more than 165 years."
The members will be assigned to units across New York City. Congratulations to all!
