Annual Safety Awareness Day at Riverdale Jewish center
Families across the city came out Sunday to participate in the third annual Safety Awareness Day at the Riverdale Jewish Center.
The annual day of safety instruction was established after a fire burned through the Brooklyn home of the Sassoon family, killing seven children in 2015.
Organizers say the best way to prevent a tragedy is to educate others on what to do in the event an emergency strikes.
Those who attended the event were invited to walk through a fire emergency simulation and explore a fire truck and ambulance.
This year’s event also included safety tips on car seat safety and CPR.
"My goal is that we create a fun and hands-on educational environment and kids,” said organizer Aaryn Rubin. “Families walk away learning something that's educational to put into practice to prevent tragedy."
