By Roslyn Thomas, captain of 325 Station Helensburgh

Just letting all the girls and boys know (young and old) that Santa will be coming around Helensburgh and Stanwell Tops on Saturday, the 18th of December 2021.

Fire + Rescue 325 Station’s Fire Engine will depart around 9am from the Fire Station in Walker St handing out pre-packed lollies.

We ask that you all observe our safety requirements in the process of our Lolly Run. By that we mean, stay on the footpath on the left hand side of the Fire Engine, which is the side Santa will be on. We will also have Warwick Erwin’s safety van with flashing lights to remind other vehicles of oncoming danger, similar to your local School Buses.

Please do not chase after the Fire Engine to try and get more lollies as you will be disappointed in this venture. We only give out lollies to the children who stand still and who are on the footpaths. There will be plenty of lollies and no one will miss out if you do the right thing.

We would like to thank Kirrily Sloane for organising the lolly donations from The Tradies, and to our Local Lions Club who have been long-time sponsors of the Santa Run.

We hope you all have a very happy and safe Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Be fire-safe over the coming holiday period.

Season’s greetings to you all, from Station 325 Fire + Rescue NSW.
