The Chapel Hill Fire Department received the “Most Creative Safe Kids Activity” award at the Safe Kids North Carolina Annual Meeting awards ceremony at Atlantic Beach on Wednesday.
Safe Kids N.C. Chairman Wayne Goodwin presented the award and Deputy Chief Matt Lawrence accepted the award on behalf of the department. The department was nominated for the opening of “The Fire Place,” a public safety education center open in Meadowmont.
The Fire Place provides education and information to the public on how to prevent or react to fires, including a fire safety puppet show. The center is also home to a historical display of the fire department
