The FDNY Captain from L-148 gives a briefing to firefighters before patrolling the Sreifas Chumetz

So, the fire department, in this particular event of this religious burning, is in charge of fire suppression and safety. That means the safety of our FD members, civilians, Shomrim, children. So, we're not just there just to put the fires out. If you see something that looks stupid, stop it, okay? Um the kids that kids do some pretty crazy things. So, you really need to find if you catch any fire sight and there is no adult or no Shomrim present, that fire is to be completely extinguished cuz the kid will stay there all day and we don't want them there unsupervised. Okay, let's talk about Shomrim. Mobile command over here, their representatives will be out there all throughout the day. Shomrim is an all-volunteer group that provides the official supervision for the religious burning locations. All burning locations are indicated on the map. I have several copies. If you need a map, you have guys that they're listed there. If you come across a site that is not on the map, confirm with mobile command that it's not on the map, and then that fire can be completely extinguished. Uh please assist the Shomrim with any requests to knock down the fire. All right, that's our goal is to mitigate any unsafe conditions. If the fire becomes too big, we're just going to go over there. You don't have to completely distinguish it, but you're going to knock down any large flames. Uh let's see. Map will be provided. Okay, official sites. Official sites should be away from wires, overhead wires, traffic signals, vehicles, and structures. If they are not, please notify the mobile command. Uh today, uh specifically doing uh dealing with everything that's going on in the world, I want everybody to have a high degree of situational awareness. Uh especially within large crowds, report any suspicious activities to the mobile command at the command post. Okay, your greeters are going to be dedicated and you'll be dispatched by your event radio. Uh Phil Comm is going to speak right after the safety briefing.
