Fall is officially here, and you know what that means!

When an alarm sounds it gives you an early warning signal that can save lives, but it has to be working!
We’re coming to you from Ghostbusters’ headquarters, Hook and Ladder Company 8 in Manhattan. Built in 1903, the firehouse was made famous by the beloved films.

Our guest in this episode is Chief of Fire Operations John Esposito who reminds us that if there is a fire in your home, closing the door when escaping helps keep smoke and fire from spreading.
