On Wednesday, Oct. 7, the Southeast Volunteer Fire Department visited Fra- zier Elementary. Students took a tour of a fi re truck and ambulance and attended a fi re safety program presented by the department’s public educator, Pedro Castellano. Stu- dents also participated in a fi re safety poster contest. This year’s theme was Be Safe. Don’t Get Burned. Members of the fi re de- partment judged the posters, and winners chosen were Lauren Mendez, Pedro Herrera, Jesse Chavez, Justus Vela, Katlyn Rokohl, Jason Henry, Leonardo Her- nandez, Lali Martinez, Stephanie Alvarez, Michelle Ta and Joshua Thomas. The winner of the overall most outstanding poster was Eliana Munoz. The students were awarded ribbons for their hard work.
