Children's designs to help promote fire safety

Images created by primary and secondary school pupils on the Island have been chosen to spearhead the Isle of Man fire and Rescue Service's fire safety campaign.

They focus on the importance of smoke detectors in saving lives.

Hundreds of entries were reviewed – the winning designs will be printed and displayed around the Island and on social media.

Leading Firefighter and Fire Prevention Officer Richard Little said: “The response from the schools was amazing!

“We had so many submissions and it was clear how much effort the students put into to the hand-drawn designs.

“It was very difficult to narrow it down to just two winners and we’d like to thank everyone who took part.”

The primary schools winner was Ava from Cronk-y-Berry School with Stevee from St Ninian's High School judged to have submitted the best secondary school entry.
