NEW YORK — The Empire State Building, in partnership with the FDNY, will be illuminated in yellow, white and blue with a red and white halo at sunset May 15 in celebration of National EMS Week.

This is the eighth consecutive year that the Empire State Building has partnered with the FDNY to celebrate National EMS Week.
