The Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire Department (SSVFD) will once again be giving Santa a ride through neighborhoods this year in our response area (see below) to help him prepare for the big night on Christmas eve.

Below is the planned Santa run schedule. There may be minor changes in the next few weeks. Check back closer to the day we are scheduled to be in your neighborhood.

Come to your window or come to the curb and wave to Santa as we pass by your neighborhood.

Remember to work with your neighbors to keep your street clear! Santa and his entourage of fire trucks cannot visit houses where the streets (especially cul-de-sacs) are blocked by vehicles! Santa also cannot visit streets without a turn-around (i.e. dead end streets). Watch for Santa on the following evenings between 5:00 p.m. and approx. 9 p.m.
