City Of Johnston: KEEP THE WREATH RED THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Press release from the City of Johnston:

November 30, 2021

The Johnston-Grimes Fire Metropolitan Fire Department is continuing a great holiday tradition for the sixth year in a row. The public safety campaign is known as "Keep the Wreath Red," which promotes fire safety as thousands of Johnston residents decorate for the holidays.

Johnston-Grimes firefighters have placed one wreath outside the Public Safety Building, located at 6373 Merle Hay Road in Johnston. The wreath is decorated with a string of red lights. If a fire occurs in the city because of holiday decorations, firefighters will replace one of the red light bulbs with a white bulb. The mission is to "Keep the Wreath Red" during the holiday season.  Since the department began the campaign six years ago, they have not changed a bulb to white, and fire crews hope to keep it this way. 

Fire safety tips that can help Keep the Wreath Red include:
