The Greenfield Fire Department is 'Keeping the Wreath Green'

The "Keeping the Wreath Green" campaign will start Dec. 1, and go through Dec. 31.

The idea behind this campaign is to show how well fire safety is practiced throughout the holidays. We will do this by using a Christmas wreath and placing 50 green lights on it; any time there is a fire incident in the City of Greenfield, we will replace a green light with a red one.

The goal of this is to have all 50 green lights remaining at the end. There are several ways to practice fire safety during the holidays such as watching candle usage, keeping open flames away from combustible materials (wood and paper); and limiting the use of extension cords (try not to overload electrical outlets and use power strips with surge protection in place of extension cords). Also, if you have a real Christmas tree, keep it watered so that it does not become too dry.

Have a Safe and Happy Holiday Season!
