"Soon it will be Christmas Day" (with a little help from the HP Fire Department)

One of the perks from living in Hollywood Park is the wonderful Hollywood Park Fire Department.  Year round they are there for us, not only putting out fires, but helping aid the sick and injured residents.  But during the month of December, the fire department has a higher calling... that of helping Santa make his rounds! 

On Thursday, Dec. 10th from 6-8 pm, Santa will be at the Voigt Center to meet the kids, and listen to their Christmas wishes. Neighborhood volunteers will provide baked goods for the kids, and the firemen will be bringing Santa on the big red fire truck!

Also, between Dec. 14th and Dec. 18th this year, the firemen will drive Santa through the neighborhood. complete with flashing lights and sirens blaring.  Residents can schedule a stop for their children or grandchildren, and even arrange for Santa to give the child a special gift that has been dropped off at the fire station.
 
So, before we know it, we will again hear the fire truck sirens, and briefly worry about a nearby fire, until we remember that it's really Santa making his rounds!
