Happy New Year to all! Let's make this our safest one yet, together.

2023 saw a year of our community growing more connected and informed. We look to continue that into 2024 and help make sure safety is at the top of everyone's mind. Community safety starts with you, and we're here to empower you to be the safest you can be.

New Year's Eve calls for celebrations of joy, success, and excitement for the year ahead. As you're celebrating, do so safely.

Do not drink and drive. Do not drive under the influence. Do not use your cell phone while driving. Do not take a chance this New Year's Eve because you could get seriously injured and injure others if you drive under the influence or while distracted.

We'll be outside, keeping watch, and Yonkers will have extra safety checkpoints to help keep an eye on the roads and keep you and your families safe as you celebrate New Year's Eve.

🔗 No more than 3 strands of standard lights strung together – let's keep it merry and not too tangled!
🌙 Don't leave lights on overnight or while away – conserve energy and keep the magic alive when you're there to enjoy it!
🚫 Check extension cords to ensure they are in good shape & don’t overload them – safety first, so your lights can shine their brightest!

Let's create a radiant spectacle that not only dazzles the eyes but warms the hearts. Share your festive light displays with us, and let's spread the joy responsibly! We want you to be safe while feeling the festive, holiday spirit.

🍂⏰ 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁: Daylight Saving Time Ends! ⏰🍂

As we fall back into Standard Time, your Yonkers Uniformed Fire Officers Association urges you to take a moment to make your home and family safer. Here are four essential safety tips to help you stay prepared during this seasonal transition:

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: Daylight Saving Time ending is a great reminder to replace the batteries in your smoke alarms. A functional smoke alarm is your first line of defense against house fires, so ensure it's in top condition.

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: If you have security cameras, don't forget to change their batteries. A well-functioning security system can help deter crime and provide valuable evidence in case of an emergency.

𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲 & 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀: Take a few moments to test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. This simple step can save lives by alerting you to potential dangers in your home.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗣𝗲𝘁 & 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗶𝗱 𝗞𝗶𝘁𝘀: Emergencies can happen at any time. Ensure your first aid kits are well-stocked and up to date. Don't forget to include supplies for your furry family members.

By following these safety tips, you can make your home more secure and ensure that you're prepared for the unexpected. Daylight Saving Time ending isn't just about adjusting your clocks; it's a great opportunity to make safety a priority.

As your local emergency responders, we are dedicated to keeping our community safe, and we encourage you to take these simple yet vital steps to protect your loved ones and your home. We're here for you, day and night.

Stay safe and be vigilant!
