Keep The Wreath Green Safety Campaign Ends With 13 Fires
January 3, 2014
The “Keep the Wreath Green” holiday fire safety campaign came to a close with 13 red bulbs representing residential fires in Escambia County. The 13 fires during the December 2013 month-long campaign was an increase over six fires in December 2012.
In the wreath campaign, each time firefighters responded to a residential fire in Escambia County that displaced a resident, a green light bulb was replaced with a red one to remind citizens of fire dangers.
One of the fires was on Christmas Day on Highway 4 in Bratt. The wood frame home suffered heavy smoke and water damage throughout following a fire that was believed to have been started by a wood burning heater.

That Godwin house has stood a long time, maybe it can be rewired and dry walled?
That fireplace and cold rain on a tin roof. Sounds good to me.
