On Saturday 12/719 and Sunday 12/8/19, Mohegan FD and Mohegan EMS spent 8 hours each day escorting Santa Claus around our fire district by fire engine. Our members helped Santa hand out candy canes to all the children and some adults, as we drove around. Besides our members enjoying this, our residents and the children definitely enjoyed seeing Santa Claus. This year we also made 2 impromptu visits. The first stop was on Saturday when our helpers came across a children's birthday party at the Jefferson Valley Lanes bowling alley and stopped in. There, Santa was allowed to join in and bowl a few frames. Our other helpers stopped at The Home Depot in the Cortlandt Town Center on Sunday to visit one of our members. Our member can no longer be an active firefighter due to a health issue, so our members stopped by to visit him at work and spread some holiday cheer to some shoppers. On Christmas Eve, we also visit New York Presbyterian-Hudson Valley Hospital with Santa and spread holiday cheer throughout the hospital to raise the spirits of those who were sick/injured. We thank everyone for the fun we had and the treats were great. We would like to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season. We only had a few emergencies to respond to during this year's Candy Cane Runs, including a small electrical fire on Peachtree Dr in Cortlandt. Please look out for next year's schedule sometime in November as changes will be made to the routes.
