🎅🔥 The 3rd Annual Effingham Fire Department Santa Run is Almost Here! 🔥🎅

Final preparations are officially underway, and we can’t wait to bring Santa back through the neighborhoods of Effingham!

Below is the full schedule along with the corresponding route maps listed in the comments for each evening. As always, we will be sharing live, updated location posts each night so you can track Santa and make sure you don’t miss him coming by! 🎄🚒✨

Thank you for your continued support—this has become one of our favorite community traditions, and we’re excited to spread holiday cheer this year!

Stay tuned for updates, and get ready… Santa is coming to town! 🎅🚒✨

***Please keep in mind that if you live down a dead end road or if you will be visiting a house on a dead end road, you may need to travel to the end of the street. There are a few dead end roads that are difficult to maneuver a fire engine around in the dark. In these cases, the live updates come in very handy!***
