FDNY celebrates 100th annual National Fire Prevention Week at Rockefeller Center
October 7, 2025
The FDNY celebrated 100 years of National Fire Prevention Week on Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2025, during its annual Fire Safety Day at Rockefeller Center in New York City.
Students from schools across all five boroughs learned invaluable lessons in fire safety from members of the FDNY Fire Safety Education Unit and the FDNY fire and life safety mascots, Hot Dog and Siren. There were also demonstrations from the Department's robotics and K-9 units.
In March, FDNY Commissioner Robert S. Tucker declared 2025 as "Fire Prevention Year in New York City." On Monday, the FDNY relaunched its #GetAlarmedNYC campaign-a collaborative effort with the FDNY Foundation and the American Red Cross to install thousands of free smoke alarms in homes throughout New York City. More than 300,000 smoke alarms have been installed since the program's inception in 2015.
This year-and every year-the FDNY and the FDNY Foundation conduct outreach programs to educate New Yorkers of all ages by providing fire and life safety information at thousands of locations and events in all five boroughs.
