Santa Run & Food Drive
Santa Claus is a busy man, but he’s making time to ride along with East Pierce firefighters this December to wish our communities a happy holiday. Crews and volunteers will travel a few blocks ahead of Santa to let you know he’s on the way. Watch for emergency vehicles with lights on, along with sirens and Christmas music.
The Santa Run is a joint community tradition hosted by East Pierce Fire & Rescue and IAFF Local 3520.
Firefighters and Local 3520 volunteers will be collecting non-perishable food items along the route to support local food banks.
Dates, times, and route maps are subject to change.

EPFR is proud to partner with Local 3520 to bring this annual tradition to our neighborhoods.
COMING SOON: Track Santa in real-time during each route HERE.
