New York is facing a blood emergency, and the FDNY and the NYPD are coming together to help the community.

On Friday, the FDNY and the @NYPDnews, in collaboration with the New York Blood Center, kicked off the annual Bravest vs. Finest Blood Donation Competition, which runs until June 30. The yearly event brings together first responders from both agencies to help save lives and support New Yorkers in need during the critical summer months.

Use code "4FDNY" during your donation process to support the Bravest! Learn more at https://t.co/eMJBRJ50Yz.

We are urging New Yorkers to always CLOSE THE DOOR behind you in a fire. A closed door can slow the spread of deadly smoke, heat and flames.

It's a simple action that can make a life-saving difference. CLOSE THE DOOR!

Legislation on the desk of @GovernorVA would give firefighters the right to be at the table when important decisions are made about their wages, benefits and working conditions. And it provides a detailed framework for negotiation when viewpoints differ. Please SIGN THIS BILL.

#OneExitIsNotEnough

🔥 Three people died and over a dozen were injured after a fire broke out in a Manhattan apartment building.

The fire spread into the only stairwell, blocking the main exit and complicating rescue efforts by FFs, highlighting the risks of these designs.

A lithium-ion battery fire can take off in seconds. Wherever possible, charge and store your lithium-ion batteries outside.

It will save lives.

First responders in California made an unusual rescue after a tree trimmer working on a palm tree suffered a medical emergency about 75 feet above the ground. Fire officials said the patient was "taken to a local hospital in critical condition." https://t.co/27dwifYxFj

Crews in South Knox County working hard on a residential fire last night. Thankfully no injuries reported.

[FDNY @FDNY]

Clutter in your home is dangerous and can be deadly. The FDNY urges New Yorkers to always keep exits, hallways, and stairways clear of clutter and storage.

Keeping exits clear will help you and your family escape during a fire, and it will help first responders quickly access your home during an emergency.

Call 311 to report clutter or hoarding.

Signal to noise: *any* 24hr news program is guaranteed to make us less informed the more we watch because the sample rate is too high & will mask truly meaningful events

Pitch: “learn 4 chords, play any pop song”
Reality: shockingly true

Back to the piano & lucky to find Zach Evans on YT

@echocharles this is a power-chords-like trick to stitch simple chords together into full on songs

At a recent conference for fire chiefs, multiple speakers quoted @simonsinek! A very good sign - in his diffusion of innovation curve, we are to the right of laggards, who come out of a bunker stocked with canned food only after 99.999% of the world has adopted something ha ha
