Santa Around Town

December 11, 2019, 6:00 PM - December 13, 2019, 9:00 PM

The Deer Park Volunteer Fire Department (DPVFD) will continue its annual Christmas tradition – the Santa Around Town tours – from December 11 to 13. On those nights from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., DPVFD will visit Deer Park streets atop a decorated sleigh, but at Santa’s request, the sleighs will look a little different this year. “Santa noticed that the Deer Park Volunteer Fire Department had 3 new high-water vehicles, and he wanted to use them as part of Santa Around Town – of course, because Santa asked, we’re making it happen,” said Justin Crow, Deputy Fire Chief of Station #2. “In fact, using the high-water vehicles will allow us to visit approximately 30 additional streets, as well as apartment complexes. We hope everyone will bring their families out and spend this time with us.” As usual, Santa’s helpers will be distributing candy along the route. The department asks that parents assist Santa with keeping small children safe as Santa passes by.
