According to a recent survey, Philadelphians are confident in their home fire preparedness despite 54% not having an escape plan and only 6% practicing one.
That's why this #FirePreventionWeek, @redcrossphilly and @phillyfiredept are teaming up to help residents bridge that gap and reduce the risk of home fires.
We're encouraging residents to do 4 things:
☝ Test your smoke alarms
🏠 Create a 2-minute home fire escape plan
🏃 Practice your plan regularly
🔋 Follow lithium-ion battery safety guidance.
Check back all week for helpful tips, info & conversations.

🚨⏰ Don't forget! ⏰🚨 This weekend marks the end of daylight saving time. When you're changing your clocks back one hour Saturday night before bed, take a couple extra seconds and check your smoke alarms too.
Need smoke alarms? Call 311 to put in the request and PFD members will come out and install them, free of charge. #pfdstrongertogether

🚒 Temple University Public Safety teamed up with the Philadelphia Fire Department for our first annual Fire Prevention Day! Students toured real fire engines and learned important tips to help keep themselves and their neighbors safe.
🔥 Owls, keep these fire safety tips in mind:
• Test your smoke detectors regularly and replace batteries as needed.
• Never leave cooking unattended.
• Turn off ovens and appliances when you’re finished using them.
• Never leave candles burning unattended, and avoid open flames in residence halls.
• Keep exits and hallways clear so you can get out quickly in an emergency.
• Know two ways out of your building and have an escape plan.
A few simple steps can make a big difference. Check those smoke detectors today and help keep our Temple community safer!

According to a recent survey, only 20% of Philadelphians say they verify chargers are properly certified before buying them. While cheap chargers may seem like a good deal, they can damage your battery, device and outlet and increase the risk of fire!
Make safety a priority by always using the cord and charger that come with your device or ones approved by your device's manufacturer.

It's been a hard week for many Philadelphia neighborhoods with tragic losses in Fairhill over the weekend and today in West Philly.
We're keeping those families and neighbors in our thoughts. Thank you to the brave members of this department for running toward danger every day to provide dedicated service.

This week we're proud to celebrate two PFD members who went above and beyond in showing dedicated service: Congratulations to Firefighter Joshua Pagan and Paramedic Lieutenant Daniel Fields.
FF Pagan was named as the 2026 Firefighter of the Year. In March, FF Pagan was working with Engine 54 inside a burning home when the floor they were standing on collapsed. While several members were trapped and injured, FF Pagan immediately got himself free and began helping others to safety. Paramedic Lt. Daniel Fields was first recognized as the 2026 EMS Provider of the Year during EMS Week in May of this year. He was selected because of his leadership and quick response which saved a choking child's life.
A huge shoutout to Fireman's Hall Museum and the PFD Historical Corporation for honoring these brave heroes and providing their awards. #phillysbravest
