Fire Prevention Week Contest Winners Announced

The Chattanooga Fire Department held its annual Fire Prevention Week awards ceremony Monday at the Chattanooga Public Library downtown. Fire Marshal Beau Matlock and Deputy Fire Marshal Seth Miller announced the winners of the fire safety poster contest. The winning posters were the ones that best illustrated this year’s fire safety theme, which was “Prevent Kitchen Fires.”  The winners received gift cards from Walmart, and the overall winner (i.e. Best of Show) will have her poster prominently displayed on a billboard for a month.
