“Keep the Wreath Red” program is an annual event aimed at increasing the awareness of safety while decorating your homes for the holidays. Outside both of our Fire Stations, a wreath with red lights are displayed. The wreaths remain lit twenty-four hours a day during the holiday season (December 1st through Jan 1st). If a fire occurs that is determined to be the result of a holiday decoration, a white bulb replaces a red bulb on the wreath. The hope is the wreath will serve as a constant reminder to practice safety while displaying holiday decorations. #KeepTheWreathRed
Each October, the Foundation sponsors the official national tribute to all firefighters who died in the line of duty during the previous year. Thousands attend the weekend activities held at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The Weekend features special programs for survivors and coworkers along with moving public ceremonies.
