The FDNY joined ABC 7, Kidde, New York Presbyterian Hospital, New Jersey Fire Departments, Toyota and Best Buy to launch the Operation Save-A-Life campaign on January 18 at the ESPN Zone in Manhattan.

The eleventh annual campaign includes a 30-minute television program that will appear on ABC 7, urging New Yorkers to practice fire safety.
“Nothing is more important than fire prevention,” said Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta. “We always say the best way to fight a fire is to prevent it - and that’s what this program does each year.”
In the United States, 11 people die each day in fires and 83 percent of these fire fatalities occur in the home. More than half of the fire fatalities in the home occur in residences without smoke alarms.
 
Operation 7 Save-A-Life will air on Sat., Jan. 30, on ABC 7 at 7:30 p.m.
