Fire Prevention Poster Contest Grand Award Winner Arrives at School in a Fire Truck - Nov. 2022

Winning the annual Fire Prevention Poster Contest has its perks. On Thursday, November 3, Tegan F-M., a McAuliffe fourth-grader, was awarded a ride to school aboard a Tinley Park fire truck for her winning submission in the city-wide contest.

As part of National Fire Prevention Week, the Tinley Park Fire Department holds a poster contest each fall and invites students to depict their version of what it takes to be safe and smart in the case of a fire. This year’s theme was "Fire Won’t Wait. Plan Your Escape."

Congratulations, Tegan, on being the overall fourth-grade winner and grand award winner!
