| By President Joseph Hyatt December 7, 2025 NHFD 2025 Santa's Run Schedule
The North Highlands Engine Co. # 1 is delighted to announce that Santa Claus will be on his big red sleigh visiting the community on Sunday, Dec. 21, bringing lots of holiday spirit and treats for the children. Santa will follow the schedules below, staying as close to the times as possible.
We ask you to please be patient, and dress warmly and appropriately. As you read the schedules, there are roads that will be toured, and areas where there will be dedicated stops. These toured roads are wide enough, and have low traffic, which allows us the ability to provide a safe area for Santa and your children to meet. If the weather conditions are particularly bad, please consult our social media pages for updates or cancellation.
If you live on a high-traffic road (Rt. 9, Rt. 301, etc.), please meet Santa at designated stops ONLY. These stops were chosen for safety reasons, and allow Santa enough room to get his overgrown sled off the road. Also, please be very careful with the children near the road, for as you all know, traffic is very heavy this time of year, and the roads can be slick.
If you have any questions concerning the schedule, or have any special circumstances such as an ill or disabled person (child or adult) who would like to see Santa and his elves at a specific place, please call NHFD at 845-265-9595, ext. 11 in advance. Please leave a message if there is no answer. We will do our best to accommodate everyone.
To one and all, a very happy, healthy and safe Christmas, Hanukah and Holiday from Santa and the North Highlands Fire Department.
