Community members came together at the Riverdale Jewish Center in the Bronx Sunday to promote fire safety.

The second annual Health and Safety Awareness Day was created after a 2015 house fire in Brooklyn that killed seven siblings.

Authorities believe the fire that shattered a Jewish community was sparked by a hot plate that was left on for the Sabbath.

Firefighters at this year's event were teaching kids what to do if they're ever trapped in a home during a fire. Organizers say there was even a mock fire for participants to practice what to do if they are ever confronted with the real thing.

"Basically what we stress is to keep your hand on a wall because all walls lead to windows and doors," says firefighter Joseph Delligatti.

Firefighters say one of the most important things to do when trying to escape a burning building is to stay low because smoke rises.

They also advise every family to have an escape plan and to change the batteries in their smoke alarms.
