Mankato’s “Keep the Wreath Bright, Prevent a Red Light” annual public safety campaign ended with one preventable fire (estimated combined loss of $50,000) and one fire-related injury. This campaign is designed to help remind people about fire safety during the holiday season. A goal of the campaign is to keep the wreath, which was displayed at the Public Safety Center, 710 S. Front St., lit with clear bulbs (red bulbs represent fires and blue bulbs represent fire-related injuries).
