"Students learn about fire prevention from kindergarten through fifth grade, so the poster contest gives the fire department a chance to see what they've learned," Marietta Fire Lt. Patrick Stewart said in a press release. "We give them the topic, based on fire prevention week, and they show us what they've learned by drawing a poster."
