Wreath Potrays Holiday Safety In Mendota

One of the more fun times of the holidays also can be one of the most dangerous. Putting up Christmas decorations that can catch fire.

For the 13th year, Mendota firefighters are asking for your help in “Keeping the Wreath Red”. A wreath is up outside the Mendota Fire Station monument wrapped in red decorative lighting. If Mendota firefighters respond to a holiday related fire or a holiday related accident, a red bulb is replaced by a white bulb.

Firefighters hope the bulbs are a reminder to be safe this holiday season.
