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.

We invite you to come out to wave, scream, and share in our annual tradition. (BRING COOKIES!!!)
We will make every attempt to visit everyone who wants to see the Jolly ‘ole Fella. If you do not see your street on the list below, please contact info@shrewsburyfire.com or comment on our Facebook page. (Please note: Santa must stay in Shrewsbury’s area in case there is an emergency).
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 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.
On behalf of the Shrewsbury Volunteers & Santa, Merry Christmas.
Santa departs the fire station at 6:30pm each night.
