We are thrilled to celebrate two outstanding young artists who were honored today for winning this year’s Fire Prevention Poster Contest!

The boys arrived at Eastlake and Unqua Elementary Schools respectively, where they were able to share their winning posters and spread important fire safety messages with fellow students.
Your creativity and hard work truly made a difference! Keep up the great work champs! 🔥
