Firefighters around the Golden State are invited to enter their pictures to win prizes at http://www.csfa.net/CSFA/CalFF/articles/CSFA_Photo_Contest.aspx. Each quarter, the top pictures are chosen by votes on social media and judging by a committee, with gift cards provided by California Casualty.
“Firefighters are on the lines every day courageously protecting our homes and businesses. The least we could do to say thanks and highlight the amazing work they do putting their lives at risk,” said Mike McCormick, California Casualty Senior Vice President.
At the end of the year, the top pictures from each quarter will be entered in a “photo of the year” contest, with one being chosen for a $300 prize and featured on the cover of an edition of the California Fire Service Magazine.
