Forsyth Fire Department Announces Fire-Safety Poster Winners

CUMMING, GA -- The Forsyth County Fire Department has announced the winners of its 2016 Fire Safety Poster Contest.

The three winners are:

• Amanda Barnaby, a student at Big Creek Elementary School
• Madison Lauria, a student at Brookwood Elementary School
• Luke Talbert, a student at Brookwood Elementary School

All three winners will be treated to a pizza party with their classmates and local firefighters and will receive a certificate from Forsyth County Fire Chief Danny Bowman.

The winners were recognized by the Forsyth County Commission at their May 5 meeting. Their artwork will be displayed at county buildings.

"We are very proud of these three students and of every student who submitted a poster," Bowman said in a news release. "Reaching our community’s children through our department’s many public education efforts is something in which we take a great deal of pride."

The annual Fire Safety Poster Contest is open to all third-grade students in Forsyth County public, private and home schools. This was the sixth year the contest was held.
