SANTA IS COMING! Chief Fusaro took a special phone call around noon today from Santa himself! Santa will travel through the fire district on Wednesday, December 23rd starting at 530. The firehouse siren will sound when we leave the firehouse. As usual, Santa will be aboard a fire truck and we will sound the siren as we come around; that’s your signal he’s near!... Special instructions from the jolly guy: 1. Santa’s staying on the truck this year. As a result, there won’t be any special stops, photo ops, or hugs. We simply can’t risk anyone getting sick; Santa has gifts to deliver and you have the holidays to celebrate. 2. Firefighter elves will be in masks and gloves and will hand out sealed candy canes. Please stay put and we will come to you. 3. Please don’t approach the fire truck or SANTA. 4. Consider making donations online at BelmontHillsFireCo.com 5. Have fun, practice social distancing, wear a mask, and wave to SANTA! Thanks for your continued support. We can’t wait to see you all on the 23rd!
