The contest challenged entrants to find two ways out of every room of their home and to know where to meet outside in the event of an emergency.
Douro-Dummer Fire Services (DDFS) personnel distributed the OAFC contest entry sheets to eligible students at Warsaw Public School and St. Joseph’s Catholic Elementary School during Fire Prevention Week in October.
A winner was selected by the OAFC from all the entries in Ontario.
DDFS personnel met Emmet and his family to present his prizes. Fire Chief Chuck Pedersen presented Emmet with a framed copy of his entry, complete with a first-prize ribbon.
“We are grateful for all the children that took the time to prepare a plan to ensure they know two ways out of their home in the event of a fire,” said Fire Chief Pedersen. “We are so proud of Emmet who submitted a great picture, showing just that, and won first place in the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs’ contest.”
