FDNY 150th Anniversary Celebrations

FDNY is continuing the Department’s 150^th anniversary celebration by hosting a series of Summer Block Party community events at Firehouses and EMS stations in all 5 boroughs. We would especially like to invite you, your staff, and all members of your community to attend the block parties throughout the City this summer.

The block parties are family-friendly events with music, food and refreshments, carnival games, and more. At each Summer Block Party, FDNY members will hold demonstrations, offer free fire safety education and conduct tours of FDNY apparatus, including the FDNY150 Fire Truck and Ambulance.  In addition, those attending can take part in free compressions-only CPR classes and learn more about careers within the FDNY.

Volunteers from the American Red Cross will also be on hand at all locations to schedule free smoke/carbon monoxide alarm installations.

FDNY members will also be distributing fire safety coloring books and fire helmets for children, flashlights and other FDNY 150^th Anniversary items.  All children in attendance can meet the FDNY Fire and Life Safety Mascots, Hot Dog and Siren, as well as take part in obstacle courses, dance performances and other activities led by local community groups.
