“Comics and Marvel super heroes are increasingly popular with both children and adults and making the fire safety message entertaining is a great way to bring it to an even larger audience,” said Commissioner Cassano. “We know that the work done by this Department and the FDNY Foundation to teach people of all ages how to make themselves and their homes fire safe has had a direct relation to the decrease of fire deaths in New York City.”

The comic book features FDNY firefighters and Marvel super heroes together they battle both fire and super villains.

The ten page comic features a cliffhanger ending, which sends the reader to the newly redesigned FDNY Foundation website, www.fdnyfoundation.org, to see the story’s resolution.
