Winners were selected according to the following criteria: 50 percent message, 25 percent creativity, and 25 percent artistry.

Representatives from the Wisconsin Alliance for Fire Safety and the North Shore Fire Department will honor Casey’s achievement with a special ceremony at Maple Dale on Friday at 9 a.m.
