Monroe: Fire district promotes safety

The Snohomish County Fire District 3 continues to celebrate this holiday season with a fire safety awareness program, called “Keep the Wreath Green.” The program is to promote fire safety during a time of serious fire danger.

The fire district is hanging a wreath on the outside of its two fire stations through Jan. 3. The wreaths are decorated with green lights. One white light will honor firefighter line-of-duty deaths across the country. Firefighters will replace a green light bulb with a red one each time they respond to a residential fire to remind citizens of the dangers posed by fire.

City Councilman Douglas Wittinger has resigned from his post because he no longer lives in the city.
