Two winners have been selected from the Duluth Fire Department poster contest. In order to enter children had to make an escape plan and practice it with their families.
The first winner is in 1st grade at Lincoln Park. He will be picked up at his home and brought to school by 9:00.
The Second winner is in 5th grade and will be brought to Nettleton School at 9:20.
This contest is to modivate children and their families to make and pracitice a fire drill. Studies have shown that if children practice a fire drill they are twice as likely to react safely in the event of a fire.
This is also an important time to make sure you have a working smoke alarm in your home as we enter the heating season.
