FDNY's Mascot "Hot Dog" Is Now On Social Media, People

Joining the ranks of official city mascots on Instagram (okay, maybe it's just one other official city mascot) is the FDNY's own fire safety dalmatian, Hot Dog. He's kind of a name-dropper—look who he did CPR training with:

Hot Dog is also on Twitter and he blogs—all for a good reason: To remind New Yorkers of important safety measures, like Halloween safety tips ("Check to make sure your costume and accessories are flame-resistant. That will help keep you safe from fire" and "Make sure you’re with a trusted adult when you’re trick-or-treating. Never go into someone’s home by yourself") or making sure you change your smoke detectors' batteries. (P.S., your apartment should have a working smoke detector.)
