C. Annual Fire Safety Poster Contest - The fire department invites all students in Kindergarten through 6th grade to enter the fire and life safety poster contest. We judge on importance of safety message, creativity, and design. Each grade winner receives a certificate and eats lunch with the firefighters. There is an assembly at each of the five public schools to announce winners. The poster contest is once a year, usually in the spring semester.
Installation is done by our firefighters.
F. Juvenile Firestopper Program - Program begins with interviewing family and child to uncover fire play behaviors, parental attitudes, and reasons for such behaviors. Once assessed, child and family receive education and some are referred to additional professional counseling for further assistance. This program is designed for children between the ages of 3 and 15 and their families, and is offered when requested by fire personnel, school personnel, parents and concerned friends. Classes can be held at special locations with group booking of 10 or more persons. This program is designed for individuals age 12 and above and is also offered to high school students while taking health class.
