Santa will be visiting neighborhoods across Bryan County and the city of Richmond Hill in December, but thanks to the Richmond Hill Fire Department and Bryan County Emergency Services, he’ll be riding something a little bigger than a sleigh.

Santa will be riding on fire trucks for his annual visits, with lights and sirens to announce his arrival. Santa and his helpers will be accepting donations of new, unwrapped toys for Bryan County Family Connection.

“It’s a good way to connect with families and children,” said RHFD Fire Marshal David Williams. “We pass out candy canes and fire safety pamphlets. It’s a big hit and I think we enjoy it as much as they do.”

It all starts 5-9 p.m. on Dec. 4 in the Oxford, Cove, Fort McAllister, Bryan Acres, Clarktown, Lyndsey Drive, Dixie, Daniel Siding, Bailey Plantation, Hope Creek, Shuman, Kelly Davis and Oak Hill areas.
