Councilmember Deutsch holds fire safety training in memory of Sassoon children
Councilmember Chaim Deutsch (D-Brooklyn) hosted a community fire safety training this week in memory of the seven Sassoon children who were tragically killed in a fire early Saturday morning. The purpose of the forum was to expand safety training for community residents to ensure that everyone is educated to take proper safety measures.
Deutsch co-hosted the event with Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, along with NYC Council Speaker Melissa Mark Viverito, NYC Comptroller Scott Stringer, Public Advocate Letitia James, Congressmember Yvette Clarke, State Sen. Simcha Felder, Assemblymember Helene Weinstein, Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte, Assemblymember Dov Hikind, Assemblymember Steve Cymbrowitz, Councilmember Jumaane Williams and Councilmember Alan Maisel.
“We must turn our pain into purpose in the wake of this horrific tragedy, and the memories of the seven Sassoon children are the seven most important reasons for us to act with urgency,” said Adams.
