!['Temperatures in New York City are expected to dip below freezing over the next several days. Prepare for dangerously cold days and nights by following our #FDNYSmart tips:
* If you are using a space heater, remember to keep it at least 3 feet from blankets, curtains and other materials.
* Don’t use a space heater near water, and keep pets and children away, as well.
* Ensure that heaters and electric blankets are plugged directly into the wall outlet, and never go to sleep while your heater or blanket are turned on.
* Electric blankets should be discarded if they are more than 10 years old, have scorch marks or have discolored or cracked cords.
* If using a fireplace for warmth, place a glass or metal screen in front to prevent embers or sparks from jumping out.
* Remember to never attempt to warm your home using your oven. Use appliances only for their intended purposes.
* Stay off the ice. You risk your life, and the lives of first responders, when you attempt to walk on frozen water.

Earlier today more than 100 FDNY members responded to a 2-alarm fire at Sterling Place and Utica Avenue in Brooklyn. Three patients were removed from a burning home, including a 75-year-old female who was found by members of Ladder 120 after they battled heavy smoke conditions and followed sounds of distress to locate her in a second floor bathroom. FDNY EMS members transported all patients to Kings County Hospital.
The Department is kicking off the Year of the Monkey with its largest contingent to ever march in the Lunar New Year Parade. FDNY wishes a happy, healthy and prosperous new year to all!
Roses are red. Violets are blue. Happy Valentine’s Day from the FDNY to you!

“Water and exposure pose the two biggest safety risks when the weather turns cold. When your body is exposed to cold temperatures, everything that is liquid inside of your body begins to crystalize. This could lead to necrosis of your tissues, and even amputation,” says FDNY Lt Paramedic Brendan Ryan when discussing the implications of exposure to cold air. “Children have a different heat regulatory function than adults, and younger children aren’t as in-tune with their bodie...
