Wreath Fire Safety Campaign Ends With 11 Red Bulbs; One For North Escambia Fire
January 2, 2009
The “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign in Escambia County ended with 11 red bulbs, one of which represented a fire in North Escambia.
On December 1, 2008, Escambia County Fire-Rescue and the City of Pensacola Fire Department kicked off “Keep the Wreath Green,” a holiday fire safety campaign.
Five-foot wreaths lit with 25 green lights were placed at 22 locations throughout the county. During the month-long event, 11 of the green bulbs in each wreath were replaced with red ones, representing residential fires that occurred in the county over the holiday season. The 2007 fire safety campaign also concluded with 11 house fires.
One bulb represented a December 14 fire that destroyed a mobile home on Nokomis Road near Highway 97 in Davisville.
Last year, two red bulbs were lit for North Escambia fires, one on Still Road and one on Backwoods Road.
Escambia residents can call 595-HERO for fire safety information and information about obtaining a free smoke detector.
