Born in 1974, the tradition has grown from a single Santa touring the streets, to Santa stopping to visit the children of firefighters, police officers, and the disabled, to four Santas stopping by to deliver a gift to any child in the community whose parent drops of a gift at one of the fire stations. This program requires four engine companies, each staffed with a minimum of four firefighters and well as two support vehicles staffed with a minimum of two firefighters, must participate. These 20 men and woman, coupled with the four Santa Helpers, must give up Christmas Eve with their families to make this dreams of little children come true on Christmas Eve.
