The Palm Coast Fire Department is asking for residents to help prevent holiday fires by following regular fire safety tips.
The PCFD’s Project Green Wreath is the department’s annual fire prevention program that runs through December. Large wreaths have been hung at all five Palm Coast fire stations, with green light bulbs in each, and firefighters will replace one green light with a red light for each structure fire during the month, a city press release said.
Fire Chief Kyle Berryhill said Project Green Wreath is a “visual reminder of the importance” of fire safety practices during the holidays.
Residents are encouraged to follow the following safety tips: don’t overload circuits or extension cords; throw away damaged light strings; don’t leave food unattended while cooking; keep candles at a safe distance from trees, children and decorations; water live Christmas trees daily; double check smoke alarms are in working order; exercise proper ladder safety.
