Waiting For Santa? Hear A Message From Him Tonight

Santa Claus has been spending a lot of time in the Toms River area this Christmas -- helping the Silverton Volunteer Fire Company deliver Christmas trees, taking photos at the Ocean County Mall, and making special deliveries.

Tonight’s his big night, of course, and the Silverton Volunteer Fire Company says that as he makes his deliveries around the globe, he is going to take a short break tonight to make a special announcement.

If you have an emergency scanner, tune in to Toms RIver EMS 1, Toms River Fire 1 and Toms River Police 4.

If you do not have a scanner, you can tune in to hear the message via the internet. Search “Toms RIver Fire Scanner” to find a feed you like.

Broadcastify will allow you to listen without downloading anything. Just click here and scroll down the page to “Ocean County Fire and EMS Dispatch” and click on the button to the left of the title to listen.

If you want to download something, TuneIn will download a scanner app to your computer and your phone, too.
