Plain Township Fire & Rescue-Stark County, Ohio

10/08/2026

Over the last several weeks Plain Township Firefighters educated 3rd grade students from many of our elementary schools on fire safety in the home. Children from Avondale, Barr, Frazer, Middlebranch, Portage Collaborative Montessori, St. Michael's Elementary, Taft, and Warstler participated. The kids had a great time working with the dedicated members of our department to learn what to do if a fire emergency occurs and more importantly how to help prevent fires at home. Take the time to discuss fire safety in your home and practice your fire drills with the whole family.

Plain Township Fire & Rescue is proud to recognize Warstler Elementary’s own third-grade student Lucas Higham, who received the “Most Creative” award for his poster at the 61st Annual Stark County Fire Prevention Week Kickoff Breakfast. Lucas demonstrated imagination and enthusiasm while creating a poster that helped promote the important message of fire safety and education.

His creativity serves as a wonderful reminder that children can play an important role in helping their families and communities stay safe. Congratulations to Lucas on this outstanding accomplishment and for helping spread an important fire prevention message to others.
