Annually, the Department posts holiday wreaths on each fire station with a string of red lights. Anytime the Department responds to a holiday decoration related fire, a red bulb is turned white. We are happy to report that all bulbs on our wreaths remained red this holiday season! Thank you for all your efforts to keep our communities safe!
