Fourth Red Bulb Lit In Wreath Fire Safety Campaign
December 13, 2012
Four red bulbs representing residential fires are now lit in the Keep The Wreath Green holiday safety campaign from Escambia County Fire Rescue and the Pensacola Fire Department.
A fourth green bulb will be replaced with a red bulb in each wreath representing a residential fire that occurred on Saturday, December 8.
On Saturday, December 8 at 11:54 p.m., a fire was reported in the 1300 block of Rule Street. Firefighters arrived at 12:01 a.m. and found smoke and fire coming from windows on the front of the home. The occupants were alerted to the fire by a working smoke alarm and they escaped through a bathroom window because their primary escape route was blocked by the fire.
The fire, declared out at 12:14 a.m., caused major damage to the living room and smoke and heat damage throughout the rest of the home. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office. Firefighters from Ensley, Brent, Ferry Pass, and Bellview responded to the fire.
During this, the ninth year of the campaign, there are five-foot wreaths on display at 26 different fire stations and other locations throughout the county.
