Wilton Student Wins County Level Competition in Poster Contest

The Wilton Fire Department congratulated Emily Bukowski of Cider Mill School for winning the county level competition in the Connecticut Fire Prevention Poster Contest.

At an awards luncheon in Cromwell yesterday, winners from each county in Connecticut were presented with a certificate and trophy.

The contest is themed “Fire Prevention-Everyone/Everyday”. Its purpose is to promote child and adult awareness of fire prevention responsibilities. The annual statewide competition for fourth and fifth graders began October 1 and is run by elementary school teachers in cooperation with the contest sponsors: The Connecticut Fire Marshals’ Association, Office of the State Fire Marshal, Connecticut Fire Chiefs’ Association, State Board of Education and the Connecticut FAIR Plan.

This year over 30,000 students from across Connecticut participated in the contest. Congratulations Emily!
