Keep the Wreath Red This Holiday Season
As the holiday season begins, the Lombard Fire Department is once again participating in the annual “Keep the Wreath Red” fire safety campaign. This initiative provides a visual reminder to practice safe habits while decorating, cooking, and celebrating throughout the holidays.
Wreaths with red bulbs are displayed at each Lombard fire station. If a fire occurs in the community that is related to holiday decorations or seasonal activities, firefighters will replace one red bulb with a white bulb. The wreaths will remain up through January 1, 2026, with the goal of keeping every bulb red. Help keep the wreath red by staying mindful of fire safety and enjoying a safe and joyful holiday season.
