Throughout "Keep the Wreath Green," the city of Pensacola had two residential structure fires that resulted in occupant displacement.
“Keep the Wreath Green 2023 proved to be an improvement
compared to totals from previous years," said ECFR Fire Chief Adam Harrison. "However, there were still 13 occasions
where Escambia County residents were displaced from their homes during the
holiday season. Throughout 2024, Escambia County Fire Rescue encourages
residents to include fire safety in their New Year’s resolutions. We wish
everyone a safe, healthy and happy New Year.”

The “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign is a collaborative initiative with the city of Pensacola to promote fire safety during the month of December. During the month-long campaign, five-foot wreaths are on display at 21 county fire stations and five city fire stations, as well as Escambia County's Ernie Lee Magaha Government Building downtown, the Escambia County Public Safety Building and Pensacola City Hall. Each time firefighters respond to a residential fire with damage, a green light bulb will be replaced with a red one to remind citizens of the dangers posed by fires in residential homes.
The mission of Escambia County government is to provide efficient, responsive services that enhance our quality of life, meet common needs and promote a safe and healthy community.
