Nokesville Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department has been in contact with the North Pole again this year. With lots of planning, it looks like Santa will be able to make his yearly trip through parts of the Bristow/Gainesville area if the weather permits.
As the community we serve continues to grow, the number of volunteers in the department from our community has not kept pace. That combined with apparatus availability challenges has forced Nokesville VFD to explore additional options to continue to escort Santa to the neighborhoods in our first due. The option we landed on as being the most viable to ensure we continue this time-honored tradition is to reduce the number of side streets we visit, sticking to a route on the main streets, providing a map of the routes, and a new Live Santa Location Tracker. Our hope is this allows us to move a bit slower on the routes and create a mini-parade-type atmosphere.
Collecting Toys for Tots
This year Santa is helping to collect toys for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation! While he is in your neighborhood, you can help a child in need and have an adult safely approach the last Nokesville VFD emergency vehicle to donate a new, unwrapped toy. If you miss the opportunity to donate a toy during Santa’s visit, you can drop toys at either Nokesville Station 5 (12826 Marsteller Drive, Nokesville) or Station 25 (Sudley Manor Dr @ Linton Hall Rd, Bristow).
