Ridgewood Seniors Review Fire Safety
State Senator Serphin R. Maltese (R-C, Glendale) and FDNY Safety Education Unit Representative Todd Belton met with members of the Ridgewood Older Adult Center at a recent Fire Safety Awareness Day sponsored by Maltese. The program provided information to nearly 200 Ridgewood area residents on common fire hazards, proper use of a fire extinguisher, installation and maintenance of smoke detectors and critical evacuation skills. In addition, everyone who attended received a free First Alert smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm. Shown with Maltese (rear l.) and Belton are (l. to r.) Emily Oddo, Ethel Nelson, Connie Giansormaggio, Irene Weeks and Clarice Sciallo.
