Several local children were named winners of Butler Township’s annual Fire Prevention Poster Contest.
Commissioner Jim Lokhaiser Jr presented trophies to six winners in kindergarten through fifth grade during a Butler Township meeting on Monday night. 18 total students submitted an entry this year.
The school with the highest number of Butler Township students participating was Northwest so they will hold the traveling trophy.
This year’s theme for Fire Prevention Week was “Fire Won’t Wait, Plan Your Escape” referring to the fact that smoke alarms often provide only two minutes to safely exit a residence.
