When it comes to fire safety, the momentum of the holiday season is still going.
The Savannah Fire Department’s symbol of the holiday season no longer hangs on the Historic District’s Station 3.
“It is safely tucked away in storage with all new green light bulbs,” said Chief Derik Minard.
But the success represented on it will carry through the year - after the best results yet for Savannah Fire’s Keep the Wreath Green fire prevention program.
“Each time we have a structure fire, a green, a green light bulb is replaced with a red light bulb. But the idea is not to replace any of them. The idea is to keep the wreath green,” said Minard.
And the fire department contributed to Savannah’s greenest Christmas so far since the program started three years ago.
