!['In preparation for inclement weather in NYC, everyone is encouraged to follow some basic #FDNYSmart preparedness tips to be #SafeNYC and help emergency personnel assist those most in need of their services. Before the snow begins to fall, test your home's smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to ensure they are working, and make sure you have working batteries for your flashlights. Once it stops snowing, homeowners should shovel a path to hydrants and make sure that they are visible so that firefighters can find them easily in case of emergency. Any delay in fire companies locating hydrants and getting water on a fire will endanger the lives of both firefighters and civilians. If you feel that you are unable to do so, ask a friend or neighbor to help shovel – you will be keeping your neighborhood safe. And as always, remember to only call 911 in case of a real emergency.

The importance of clearing fire hydrants was made evident this morning, as FDNY members arrived on scene of a fire on 9th Ave in Manhattan to find the hydrants covered in snow. Critical seconds were lost as the hydrants were cleared, and the fire escalated to a 4th alarm. Thankfully, there are no injuries to report. New York City homeowners and business owners - any delay in fire companies locating hydrants and getting water on a fire endangers the lives of both Firefighters and civilians. Shovel a path today, and on every snowy day. Help the FDNY respond when seconds matter.
