Tinley Park, IL – The Tinley Park Fire Department hosted its 53rd Annual Fire Prevention Poster Contest, recognizing young artists across local schools for their creative and educational designs. The winners were celebrated at an awards breakfast held Saturday, where top entries from each grade level were announced.
According to the Village of Tinley Park Public Safety, the long-running event drew dozens of submissions from students eager to share fire safety messages through art. The posters highlighted key prevention themes such as proper battery disposal and home fire awareness.
Fire department officials expressed gratitude to the participating schools and families for supporting fire safety education. Each overall winner earned a special prize — a ride to school aboard a Tinley Park fire engine.
“Thank you to all the children that participated and to our schools for their continued support,” the department said in a statement. “Congratulations to all our grand prize winners.”
The annual contest is part of Fire Prevention Week activities held nationwide each October, promoting safety awareness and community engagement among young residents.
