Fire Truck Brings Santa to Town

Instead of the sound of jingling bells, a blaring fire siren alerted Upper St. Clair residents that Santa was in town.

The led Kris Kringle through every neighborhood on Saturday.

Santa greeted children with giant Christmas lollipops, parents with USC Volunteer Fire Department calendars and dogs with biscuits.

"It's going well. We've seen lots of kids," Santa told Upper St. Clair Patch. "The kids really like the lollipops. And the dogs are really liking the treats."

The Frohnhofers, of Southwick Drive, saw the fire department bring around Santa for the first time this year.

"I think it's fabulous. It's great for the firefighters to get out and for the kids to have something to look forward to," mother Erin Frohnhofer said.

"I like fire trucks," four-year-old Noah Frohnhofer said, holding his lollipop.

He also appeared pleased he was able to let Santa know he wants ice skates for Christmas.

If you missed Santa's Upper St. Clair visit this year, don't worry, the fire department is planning on teaming up with the big guy again next December.
