11-27-13 keep the wreaths red

The Fond du Lac Fire Department is reminding residents to think safety when stringing lights for the holiday season.  The Department will take part in the “Keep The Wreaths Red” fire prevention program aimed at heightening public awareness about preventable home fires around the holidays.

Fire prevention specialist Troy Haase says from Thanksgiving through the New Year, a wreath will be hung at all three fire stations. and will be illuminated by a string of red lights. Whenever a fire occurs in Fond du Lac that is a result of holiday decorations, a white bulb will replace a red bulb on the  wreath.
