FDNY seatbelt initiative increases firefighter safety

FDNY amped up its seatbelt efforts, retrofitting older fire apparatus with Ready Reach seatbelt systems, ordering new units with the belts already installed, and delivering internal "Buckle Up" training. The department shared with FIRE CHIEF this video, which features Commissioner Salvatore Cassano, Safety Chief Steve Raynis and others explaining the importance of seatbelt use. Also, Lt. Mike Wilbur details the Ready Reach system.
