”Keep the Wreath Red” program is an annual event aimed at increasing the awareness of safety while decorating your homes for the holidays.

Outside of the Oregon Fire Station, is a wreath with red lights is 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.
