In honor of Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of community service, FDNY Commissioner Robert S. Tucker joined members of the New York City Fire Department’s Fire Safety Education unit Monday, Jan 20, 2025, to install free smoke alarms for New York City residents.
The initiative, part of the FDNY’s ongoing efforts to promote fire safety and community education, highlights the Department’s commitment to protecting all New Yorkers, particularly those in high-risk communities.
The installation is made possible by the FDNY Foundation’s support of the FDNY’s lifesaving safety education and smoke alarm campaign. The American Red Cross is also a partner.
Fire Commissioner Tucker said: “Dr. King’s vision of service and unity inspires us to make a meaningful difference in our city.
“By installing smoke alarms and providing lifesaving fire education, we are honoring his legacy and also taking steps to protect families and save lives.”
To commemorate MLK Day, FDNY Fire Commissioner, Robert S. Tucker has helped to install smoke alarms in the homes of New York City residents, celebrating Dr. King’s vision for service.
