Ninth Red Bulb Placed On Fire Safety Wreath
December 30, 2015
The ninth green bulb has been replaced for the “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign after Escambia County Fire Rescue recently responded to a fire in the 3500 block of Muldoon Road.
The first 911 call was received Monday at 4:05 p.m., with on-site crews reporting that the home was full of smoke. The fire was extinguished upon arrival of on-site crews, and it was determined that the incident was caused due to an electrical malfunction of a television. Escambia County Fire Rescue reminds citizens to make sure they do not overload electrical outlets or circuits, which can result in a safety hazard.
The “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign is a collaborative initiative with City of Pensacola and Santa Rosa County to promote fire safety during the month of December. During the month-long campaign, five-foot wreaths will be on display at 23 different county fire stations. Every time firefighters respond to a residential fire, a green light bulb will be replaced with a red one to remind citizens of the dangers posed by holiday decorations.
