Long Valley, New Jersey — December 20 — As part of the department's yearly holiday custom, members escorted Santa around Long Valley neighbourhoods throughout the week. While firemen worked with local officials to guarantee seamless operations, the escorts made it possible for residents to safely visit Santa.
The department continued to manage its regular workload while providing support for these events. During the week, firefighters responded to 21 service requests, necessitating volunteer personnel and equipment preparedness. The activity is typical of December, when emergency calls and holiday activities frequently coincide. During the Christmas season, department leadership stressed that upholding coverage while honouring local customs continues to be a top focus.
