MANHATTAN, N.Y. (PIX11) -- Ladder 8 in Manhattan is frozen!
The FDNY and FDNY Foundation have partnered with Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire to add a new display to the "Ghostbusters firehouse" for a limited time. Starting on Thursday, firefighters and EMTs will give fire and life safety education outside of the firehouse, according to the department.
"We are going to have our CPR unit on scene teaching bystander CPR, which saves lives. We're going to have our fire safety education unit on the scene talking about how to be fire-safe and giving out smoke alarms, which will double your likelihood of surviving a fire. So, this is a fun partnership. And it is also a serious one because we hope people come by and they take away something that can save the lives of them or their families," said Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh.
The display and activities will run Monday through Saturday until March 23 at 14 North Moore Street.
