'Keep the Wreath Green' Campaign

The Pensacola Fire Department in collaboration with the Escambia County Fire Rescue, are launching its annual “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign starting today, Dec 1. This campaign is designed to promote fire safety during the month of December, with both departments hoping to reduce the number of fires during this time.

During the month-long campaign, five-foot wreaths will be on display at 18 county fire stations and five city fire stations, with wreaths also placed outside Escambia County's Ernie Lee Magaha Government Building downtown, the Escambia County Public Safety Building, Pensacola City Hall and Cordova Mall near the food court entrance. Each time firefighters respond to a residential fire with damage, a green light bulb will be replaced with a red one to remind citizens of the dangers posed by fires in residential home.
