Pine Mountain Firefighters Busy During Christmas Season

Firefighters in Pine Mountain kept busy during the Christmas Season, but not as a result of emergency calls.

In fact, the number of emergency calls was down as compared to previous years but firefighters were kept busy in a number of Christmas-related activities.

The season began in November with Light Up Pine Mountain. During the celebration, Pine Mountain Mayor Joey Teel officially lit the town’s Christmas Tree. The Pine Mountain Fire Department delivered Santa Claus to the event, to the delight of children and adults.

On Saturday, December 3, Pine Mountain firefighters participated in three parades. The first parade took place in Pine Mountain with Santa Claus riding on top of Quint 1201. Later that evening, Quint 1201 participated in the Hamilton Christmas Parade while Sparky the Fire Dog and Squad 12 were featured in the Manchester Christmas Parade.

The final Christmas event took place on evening of Christmas Eve. For the 15th year, Pine Mountain firefighters towed Santa and his sleigh along every street in town with firefighters distributing candy canes to all the children that came out to see Santa.

With his reindeer preparing for their long trip, Santa’s sleigh was towed around town by Pine Mountain Fire Department’s Ranger unit with Squad 12 and Engine 1202 trailing.

Though a busy season, the Christmas season is always a fun time for Pine Mountain’s firefighters.
