New Yorkers are being urged to check the safety of their homes as the FDNY relaunches a citywide campaign to prevent deadly fires.

The #GetAlarmedNYC initiative aims to put smoke alarms in thousands of homes across the five boroughs, making sure families have an early warning in case of danger.

Since the program began, 309,000 smoke alarms have been distributed citywide.

Residents can sign up for free smoke alarm installations at community events hosted by the FDNY and the American Red Cross.

FDNY is also looking for volunteers to help New Yorkers set up their smoke alarms.
