Santa on the Firetruck, Saturday, December 14
While Fire Station 7 is closed, the crew from Fire Station 9 (at the top of Walter Reed hill) will keep this community tradition going. This year, Santa and his firefighter elves will start the route at 3 pm at Park Shirlington apartments in the north side parking lot loop (closest to Abingdon Elementary school). They will then proceed along their route through Fairlington on both the north and south sides from 3 pm to 5 pm. Santa will stop to greet fans at both the North Fairlington Community Center (3005 S. Abingdon St.), and the Fairlington Community Center (3308 S. Stafford St.).
View the turn-by-turn directions here and the map of the route here.
As always, if duty calls and Santa’s firefighter friends have to use their truck to help others in an emergency, their journey may be cut short.
