Description
Each year the volunteers decorate the reserve engine and drive Santa Claus around the Greater Falls Church area to visit residents. The event lasts from December 16 through December 23 and encompasses the entire City of Falls Church and other neighborhoods on the fringes of the City as time permits. During the trips, FCVFD members hand out candy canes and fire safety literature to citizens. An addition this year were dog biscuits for our four-legged friends who frequently come out to visit with Santa too. This year, the FCVFD purchased and distributed over 4800 candy canes and 100 dog biscuits. A total of 20 FCVFD members donated approximately 200 hours of service during the operation. In addition to the evening rides, the FCVFD transported Santa to Cherrydale Fire Station 3 for a community event involving over 300 children. Many thanks to Lieutenant Holder and Firefighter Sisler for their hard work coordinating this year's event.
