With the holiday season is in full swing, we remind everyone to “Keep the Wreath Red”. We thought we would share a little history about the “Keep the Wreath Red” fire safety campaign. “Keep the Wreath Red” originated in 1954 by the Naperville Fire Department (IL) and then was adopted in 1980 by the Illinois Fire Chiefs Association. Since then, the program has yielded outstanding community results keeping our area safer year after year. The lighted wreath is festive yet helps celebrate all of the diversity in your community during the holiday season – Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa. The wreaths at both stations remain lit 24 hours a day during the holiday season. If a fire occurs that is determined to be the result of a holiday decoration, a white bulb replaces a red bulb on the wreath. Please remember to “Keep the Wreath Red”!
