Wreath serves as safety reminder

Marysville firefighters have hung a large wreath outside their station as a holiday safety reminder.

As part of the Keep the Wreath Green program, green bulbs on the wreath will change to red whenever there’s a house or business fire in the Marysville Fire District. The bulbs will change to white whenever a firefighter dies anywhere in the United States.

The program runs through New Year’s Day to serve as a reminder to those who pass the fire stations to keep this holiday season a safe one, district spokesman Nathan Trauernicht said.

Correction

Naval Station Everett commanding officer Capt. Eddie Gardiner has been in the Navy for 35 years. A story on Page B1 Saturday misstated the length of his military service.
