Santa Sightings: Warminster Fire Companies Gear Up For Fire Truck Tour

WARMINSTER, PA —Santa Claus is spending next weekend in Warminster Township.

Santa will be coming to town courtesy of the Hartsville Fire Company who will tour Saint Nick around on a firetruck next Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 17-18.

The Warminster Fire Department will escort Santa on Sunday, Dec. 18, starting at 10 a.m.

The Warminster Fire Department runs four groups of Santa escorts with four Santas throughout the day. The area in the center of town has two Santas, and the East and West Ends each have one.

They don't follow a map or schedule and their timing can be affected by calls throughout the day.

The best way is to listen for the sound of approaching sirens and horns which will signify when we've reached your neighborhood!

Residents are asked when they hear the sirens and see the emergency lights to come out. As in prior years, Santa will stop and meet with children at the locations listed below.

The Hartsville Fire Company asks residents to keep children and pets from running into the street while Santa is coming through. Anyone who lives in cul-de-sacs or small private roads should come to the end of the street since fire trucks can't access smaller areas.

The fire company said it will do its best to hit streets in a timely fashion, but the fire company will remain in service throughout the event and will respond to calls as they come in.

The fire company has added a new “sensory” stop has been added to the proposed agenda. This new stop will be located at the firehouse and was created with the intent to help those who would still like to meet with Santa, but need a smaller, and quieter atmosphere.

"On behalf of the officers and the members of the Hartsville Fire Company we would like to extend our utmost appreciation for all your support, and we would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Stay safe and healthy," the fire department stated in a Facebook post.
