Wreath Fire Safety Campaign Ends With 12 Red Bulbs; No North Escambia Fires
January 4, 2010
The “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign in Escambia County ended with 12 red bulbs representing residential fires — none in North Escambia.
On December 1, 2009, 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 green lights were placed at locations throughout the county. During the month-long event, 12 of the green bulbs in each wreath were replaced with red ones, representing residential fires that occurred in the county over the holiday season. All of the fires were south of Nine Mile Road.
The 2009 fire safety campaign concluded with 11 house fires. Last year, one red bulb represented a December 14 fire that destroyed a mobile home on Nokomis Road near Highway 97 in Davisville. In 2008, 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.
