Santa Comes to Cherry Hill

Since last Thursday, December 15, through this upcoming Wednesday, December 21, Santa Claus has been touring the streets of Cherry Hill, escorted by the Cherry Hill Firefighters and Fire Officers.  Normally the sound of sirens and horns accompanied by flashing lights means the firefighters are rushing towards some emergency in town.  However, in the evening and afternoon hours these noises have served the purpose of alerting all the boys and girls of Cherry Hill, and some adults of course, that Santa Claus is coming to town.

Santa w/ the members of Squad 13 "A"

On one special note, soon to be retiring Battalion Chief, William Stallfort, stopped into the quarter's of Squad 13 on his day off to help with the escorting of Santa Claus.  Occasionally while the firefighters are escorting Santa, emergencies occur requiring the firefighters and Santa to quickly rush off to protect the community; and yes even Santa helps.  As was the case on Thursday, December 15, B/C Stallfort and the members of Squad 13 "A" took in several calls in their local with Santa in tow.  Now, don't fret if you see Santa and the firefighters leaving for an emergency; they will return to finish Santa's trip through your neighborhood at a later date.
