Today, B-shift had the honor of bringing Santa to his new house on the Square of Hanover. Engine 79-3 went first, and led the Parade. Many floats and organizations followed behind the Engine. Truck 79 and Air 79 ended the Parade. From the bucket of the Truck, Santa got the best view of all the people watching the Parade. Truck 79 then stopped and dropped off Santa to waiting children at his new house. Local 2045 wishes Santa a great Holiday Season at his new home.
