Santa Takes Over East Lake (FL) Fire Department’s Station 57

“After years of riding the fully restored 1961 American LaFrance Fire Truck, Santa has requested to take over East Lake Fire Rescue’s Station 57 to host an epic Christmas Party and our Fire Chief APPROVED!

“Mark your calendar as our Inaugural ‘Santa Takes Over Station 57’ Christmas Party will take place on December 15th, 16th, and 17th from 6pm to 9pm at Station 57 (3375 Tarpon Lake Blvd., Palm Harbor, FL 34685).

“This event will be offered on 3 different dates, but each night will be the same exact event- we are offering 3 dates in case community members had schedule conflicts.

“Parking will be at station 57, our wonderful East Lake CERT members will be assisting with parking.

“All who attend will line up at the entrance of Station 57’s admin office, where you will be able to drop off any food donations you may have for our food drive. After that, we will be showing a 12-minute Disney Fire Safety video in our conference room. Once the video ends, you will be escorted to our fire truck garage where you will be able to take pictures with Santa, right by our Antique truck, using your own camera/phone. Once your picture is taken, we will have hot chocolate and cookies waiting for you in front of our fire truck garage doors (which will be shut).”
