Mark your calendars! Santa will be making his annual visit on the fire truck again this year! Please always keep in mind that this schedule is both weather and emergency call dependent. Your neighbor's call for help will always be prioritized and we are a volunteer company that has families as well. We will update any changes as best as we can! We look forward to seeing you all in your neighborhoods!

You guys suck!! Why did you even bother doing this? For weeks I 've been checking your web site to see when "Santa" will drive by...Nothing...I learned from my association an hour ago that you will be driving by through our neighborhood...Literally an hour ago! I understand you guys have real things to deal with and kudos to you...My many thanks for all you do for this community but if you don't have the time or if you're going to do this half-assed, then don't do it at all. Your drive bys have been our tradition since my daughter's first Christmas...She is eight now and she still looks forward to your drive bys. Total disappointment!!

Hi Paul!

We’re sorry you think we suck! Hopefully you’ve improved your website navigating skills, as the Santa schedule was posted on our Facebook page 12/5 and website on 12/13 (the first day of his journey.) It sounds like Santa reached your neighborhood as scheduled and posted, so I can only assume the “half-assed” comment refers to the operation in general. Every year, our members pre-plan their availability via digital sign-up sheets to ensure Santa has all the help he needs. Members volunteer additional time away from their families and one of our members even flew up from Florida this week to help out. You seem passionate about this, so I’m sure you won’t mind us using your commentary as an example of the incredibly rude and immature messages our company receives about Santa every year. Here’s to hoping you can improve your holiday spirit before the 25th!

Love, Your dedicated Savage VFC volunteer neighbors
