Residential High Rise Fire Safety (2010 LGAA)

City of White Plains
County: Westchester County
Population: 50,000 +
City Hall: (914) 422-1200

The City of White Plains Department of Public Safety Fire Bureau created a project to provide fire safety education to residents of high rise buildings, partially because the City is increasingly defined by high rise residences and office buildings.  The White Plains Fire Bureau created a Residential High Rise Fire Safety public service DVD that would raise awareness and educate the residents on fire safety. The DVD featured firefighters as actors at a local residential high rise building demonstrating fire safety practices. The DVD format presented a unique opportunity to provide information and education to a large segment of the population in an effective, innovative, and entertaining manner.
