York County Santa Fire Truck Visits

By Sarah Frane Macaroni Kid York December 1, 2022

Every year Santa trades in his reindeer for a fire engine so he can visit neighborhoods all across York County!  To ensure your family doesn't miss this annual tradition we've compiled a list of dates and times just for you. Please keep the following in mind when Santa and the fire truck visit your neighborhood:

1. Do not approach the fire truck! We know it's so hard to contain your excitement when you see the Big guy but please stay on the sidewalk, grass or driveway. 

2. While driving Santa around to see all the good little girls and boys is a favorite activity for many of our local fire departments their main priority is to keep our community safe, so please keep in mind weather and emergencies may cause delays.

3. Updates on Santa's journey through town be sure to like and follow your local fire department's FB page.

If, by chance, there is an emergency that the Fire Engine needs to respond to, Santa has requested to ride along and offer his assistance to those in need.  In the event that happens, we have a make-up night (12/21), where we will re-visit those streets that were missed.  We will try our best to keep our Facebook page updated with the latest information throughout the evenings.
