Media Fire Hook and Ladder #1 - Station 23

Good morning to our friends and neighbors. We just received word from the North Pole that Santa has asked for our assistance in escorting him around town one more time before Christmas. So on Sunday December 17th starting around 4:30, we will be out and Santa will be in the bucket of Snorkel 23. Listen for the sirens and come out to the streets and intersections to see him so you can make sure you are on his “Good” list. We will do our best to cover the main streets but due to Santa’s very busy schedule, we can’t cover everything. Santa understands that if an emergency arises, handling that is priority and we may not have time to complete the entire town. We hope to see everyone then! ... See MoreSee Less
