APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – As the holiday season arrives, the Appleton Fire Department is kicking off its annual “Keep the Wreath Green” campaign.
On Tuesday, firefighters hung wreaths with green bulbs outside each Appleton fire station.
Every time there is a commercial or residential fire within the city between now and New Year’s Day, the department will replace a green bulb with a red one.
The goal of the campaign is to promote fire safety and reduce the number of fires during the holiday season. In 2018, there were five red bulbs. The fewest number of red bulbs occurred in 2011 with one red bulb.
