MONROE COUNTY FIRE RESCUE DELIVERS PIZZA TO FIRE PREVENTION WEEK COLORING CONTEST WINNER

STOCK ISLAND, FL – Monroe County Fire Rescue Station 8 in Stock Island and Chief Fire Marshal RL Colina delivered pizza on Friday to the fire prevention coloring contest winner, 7-year-old Nora Bringle. Bringle colored the Fire Prevention Week Serving Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen color sheet with utmost artistic ability. She also comes from a family of firefighters who are instilling the importance of fire safety in her, like pushing handles of pots and pans over the stove so they cannot be easily tipped and having a 3 feet safety area around the stove. Bringle loves helping her mom safely cook in the kitchen and wants to be a firefighter when she grows up. Her little brother, Jax, was also excited to get a visit from the firefighters. Monroe County Fire Rescue wants to thank all the children who participated in the coloring contest, and a special thank you to Domino’s Pizza for donating the pizza.

During Fire Prevention Week, Monroe County Fire Rescue did outreach programs in Monroe County schools and daycares, which included a meet and greet with Sparky the Fire Dog and a fire truck tour.

“Children need to know how quickly a fire can grow in the kitchen,” Colina said. “I have seen many homes damaged and people injured by fires that could easily have been prevented.”
