SEYMOUR - Congratulations go out to the talented students who recently were recognized for winning a fire prevention poster contest.
The town has been participating in the Connecticut Fire Prevention Poster Recognition Program for at least 15 years.
This is a cooperative effort between the Office of the State Fire Marshal, CT Fire Marshal’s Association, Connecticut Fire Chiefs Association, Connecticut Board of Education, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, and the Connecticut Fair Plan representing the Insurance Industry.
This year the Seymour Fire Marshal’s office chose four winners (two of which will be forwarded to the state program to compete in the New Haven County portion of the contest).
These four students, a fourth and fifth grader from Chatfield-LoPresti School and Bungay School were selected as the town winners.
These four students, a fourth and fifth grader from Chatfield-LoPresti School and Bungay School were selected as the town winners.
They had the opportunity to ride a fire truck to school along with a parent. This was a joint effort with the Seymour Fire Department and Fire Marshal’s office.
It is events like this that create lasting memories and will hopefully impress upon the students how important it is to practice fire safety activities.
This year’s winners were fifth grader Sara Kochiss and fourth grader Louis Zhu from Chatfield-LoPresti Elementary School, and fifth grader Gabriel Sand and fourth grader Camille Grandy from Bungay Elementary School.
Gabriel Sand and Camille Grandy’s pictures were chosen as the town winners and will be forwarded to the New Haven County competition.
This is a press release from the Seymour Fire Marshal's office.
