Fifth Red Bulb Lit In Wreath Fire Safety Campaign

December 17, 2012

Another green bulb has been replaced with red representing a residential fire in the “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign.

The fire was reported in the 4500 block of Mobile Highway just before 11 p.m. Saturday. Firefighters arrived to find a fully involved travel trailer, which was being used as a permanent residence. The trailer was a total loss.

The cause of the fire was determined to be an unattended candle.

The American Red Cross was called to assist the resident. The Osceola, Myrtle Grove, Brent and Warrington stations of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the blaze.

During this, the ninth year of the campaign, there are five-foot wreaths on display at 27 different fire stations and other locations throughout the county.
