Santa to Deliver Gifts on Bernardsville Fire Truck

The Bernardsville Fire Company, along with Santa Claus, will visit local homes on a fire truck with holiday gifts for children between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday, December 17.

The event is a fund-raiser for the all-volunteer fire company, and funds will be used to purchase new equipment as needed and to maintain existing equipment and facilities.

Due to the fire company’s limited resources, the Santa Claus fire truck visit is limited to households in the fire/rescue territory, those that receive the Bernardsville Fire Company and First Aid Squad annual fund drive solicitations in the mail, are eligible to participate.

For a $50 donation per family, Santa or a firefighter in lieu of Santa, will arrive at the family’s home via a fire truck, with its lights and sirens activated. After the truck stops at the home, each child will be able to come to the truck to receive their gift.

Families who want to participate in the fire truck gift event are asked to drop off their $50 donation, a pre-wrapped gift for their child or children, and a completed form for each gift to the firehouse at 118 Mine Brook Rd., between 10 a.m. and noon Sunday, December 11 or between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 14.
