AETNA HOSE, HOOK & LADDER COMPANY TO DISCONTINUE SANTA RUNS

We recognize that Santa visiting the neighborhoods by fire truck has become a holiday tradition for many in our coverage area. Unfortunately, we will not be continuing Santa Runs this year.

Over the past few years, our emergency response call volume has continued to increase. We have received increasing complaints regarding the disruptions to the posted Santa Run schedule each year. While we understand the disappointment of adults and children that had adjusted their plans to greet Santa on a fire truck, our response to requests for emergency assistance will always be our priority.

We are working on plans to host a Santa event at one or more of our fire stations. Please watch this site for additional information. We hope our community will join us as we begin our holiday celebrations.
