Santa to cruise Hoover on Christmas Eve
This year, the Hoover Fire Department will escort Santa Claus and his helpers around the city between 4-10 p.m. on Christmas Eve. This long-standing tradition of the Department has existed for 15 years, and every year Santa tries to reach as many areas as possible.
New in 2013, the Department is introducing a page on its website that will allow families to follow Santa’s trip as he makes his way to their streets. Visit hooverfiredepartment.org to look for the new feature and view updated schedules if any changes are made to those provided to the right.
If there is inclement weather, Santa will be at each fire station from 5-7 p.m. Also, remember that Santa’s escort fire engines are on duty and might be called away in the event of an emergency. But the Department promises to resume its duties to Santa as soon as possible.
