Fire Awareness Wreaths at Local Stations

Residents are asked to help “Keep the Wreath Green” throughout this holiday season. This program, which emphasizes fire safety, provides a visual reminder of the community’s success in preventing fires. Each Richmond Fire Station has a wreath placed on the front of the fire station. The wreath is illuminated with green light bulbs. If there are NO significant structure fires during the holiday season, the wreath will remain lit with only green bulbs. If a significant structure fire occurs during this holiday season in that fire district, one of the green bulbs will be replaced with a red bulb. By simply looking at the wreath, everyone will know how successful the community has been at being fire-safe. Here are some helpful reminders for you to “Keep The Wreath Green”.

This pulled from the Richmond Fire Department’s latest Safety Bulletin and the reminders mentioned above can be found here: Fire Safety Bulletin.
