Fire deaths NYC are up 60% compared to this time last year. 46 have died so far, most recently 3 kids in a Bronx fire. The FDNY says keeping hallway doors closed in apartment buildings can save lives. We have more safety tips in our story at cbsnewyork.com. @cbsnewyork

Aviation experts say the runway at Newark near Sunday’s New Jersey Turnpike collision is challenging for pilots due to its shortness. One tells me “I was wondering when it was going to happen.” The NTSB is now investigating the cause. @CBSNewYork

The Port Authority announced today it will install transponders to help air traffic controllers detect firetrucks in local airports. They made the call after the NTSB found the fire truck in a deadly collision at LaGuardia did not have a transponder. @CBSNewYork
