The Chapel Hill Fire Department has launched its annual initiative to “keep the wreath green” and prevent home fires during the holiday season.
On Dec. 1, the department began displaying a wreath illuminated with green lights on the front of Fire Station No. 1 at 403 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. For each residential fire that occurs in Chapel Hill through Jan. 1, the department will replace a green bulb with a red bulb.
The department advises residents to be careful this month due to the increased risk of home fires during the holiday season.
