The FDNY will host a series of block party community events at firehouses and EMS Stations in all five boroughs throughout the summer. The first block party was held today at  Brooklyn’s Engine 255/Ladder 157 in Flatbush. The summer block parties are made possible by the generous support of the FDNY Foundation. At each event, FDNY members will hold interactive demonstrations, offer free fire and life safety education, and conduct tours of FDNY apparatus. The events also offer a chance to explore rewarding careers at the FDNY. All children who attend can meet the FDNY Fire and Life Safety Mascots, Hot Dog and Siren.
