A recent fire that resulted in a civilian injury was the result of an unattended candle. There have been other such fires in the District. Candles can set the mood, but must be used safely. #DCsBravest

Today is #TestItTuesday. When you test your smoke alarms, test your home fire escape plan. If you know you need assistance getting out quickly, speak to your family members, neighbors or building manager. Make a plan around your abilities.

This video captures the excitement of the reenactment of the Last Run of the Horses from June 15 1925. This ceremonial run honored the legacy and service of the great fire horses, whose strength and speed once powered our fire response before the era of motorized fire apparatus.
