November 25, 2025 —Bryan County Fire & Rescue announced that its highly anticipated annual Santa Runs will officially begin on December 1, bringing festive cheer to neighborhoods across both North and South Bryan throughout the month of December. Each year, firefighters team up with Santa and his helpers to spread holiday spirit, driving through the community with lights flashing and Christmas music playing as families come outside to wave and enjoy the magic.

During the Santa Runs, crews will also be collecting new, unwrapped toys to support children throughout Bryan County in partnership with Family Connection. All donations will stay within the community to brighten the holidays for local families in need.

Santa Run schedules will remain dependent on emergency call volume and weather conditions. Should changes or make-up days be required, Bryan County Fire & Rescue will share updates on their official Facebook page.

The department invites all residents to step outside, join their neighbors, and enjoy the festive tradition that brings the community together year after year.
