(KNZA)--Three Troy Grade School students are among six winners in the Fire Safety Poster Contest conducted annually by the office of the State Fire Marshal.

Kindergartner Andi Grable, 1st grader Ella Grable and 2nd grader Nicole Wissler were among the winners honored Friday by Governor Sam Brownback and State Fire Marshal Doug Jorgensen during a ceremony in the Governor’s office.

The competition kicked off in October in conjunction with Fire Prevention Week.  Participants were asked to use this year’s theme, “Every Second Counts, Know 2 Ways Out,” in their entries.

Schools across Kansas encouraged participation from their students, who demonstrated their knowledge of fire safety that they have learned in school or at home.

The poster contest was divided into grade categories: Kindergarten through 5th grade.

The winning posters, along with those earning Honorable Mention recognition, are currently being featured on a display in the Capitol Building rotunda and are highlighted in the 2018 Fire Safety Calendar.
