With Sirens Sounding, Firefighters To Escort Santa Through Newtown

NEWTOWN, PA — With sirens sounding, firefighters from Newtown Fire and Rescue will be ushering Santa through town this weekend.

Due to the lack of snow, Santa will be trading his sleigh for a fire truck ride. He'll be climbing aboard a fire truck for this year's Santa Run on Saturday, Dec. 23 while giving his reindeer a chance to graze over at Tyler State Park and rest up for their Christmas ride.

From 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Newtown Fire and Rescue will be driving Santa through Newtown Borough and Newtown Township.

"Come on out when you hear the sirens," said the firefighters.

On the day of the Santa Run, residents can check out the fire company's social media pages for updates on Santa's progress through town. In addition, a live tracker will be available on the day of the run.

• Between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., Santa is scheduled to visit Newtown Borough, Walton Court, Newtown Walk, The Reserve, Hill Haven, Woods of Saxony, The Ridings, Newtown Gate, Headley, Wiltshire Walk, The Villas, Kirkwood, New Haven, Country Bend, Raintree, Crowne Pointe, Newtown Place, Brookside, Newtown Crossing, Tyler Walk, Colonial Commons, Nob Hill, Devonshire and Newtown Meadows.
