2021 'Keep the Wreath Green' Fire Safety Campaign Results


For the first time since the campaign began, the City of Pensacola ended its annual "Keep the Wreath Green" Fire Safety Campaign with zero red bulbs. Although there were some commercial and residential structure fires in city limits during the month of December, none of the residential fires displaced occupants or caused significant damage, thanks to rapid response from the Pensacola Fire Department.
