The Redmond Firefighters Union Local 2829, IAFF, is assisting Santa Claus again this year as he makes his tour through the Redmond community. Santa will be transported in the union’s antique fire truck with his colorful helper, Buddy.

A new tracking application will allow users to follow Santa’s route in real-time, using the web, tablets or smart phones. The new application is available online at www.redmond.gov/santa.

Santa and his volunteers will be accepting non-perishable food donations and unwrapped toys for Hopelink. The Firefighters Union will also match cash donations up to $500.

Santa and his elves will be in the locations listed below from 6:30-10:30 p.m., though Santa may need to cancel a night’s trip due to heavy rain, snow or mechanical problems (the antique fire truck isn’t as reliable as Rudolph):

Dec. 19 – View Point South

Dec. 20 – English Hill South

Dec. 21 – Downtown Redmond

Dec. 22 – Make-up night if necessary

Dec. 23 – Make-up night if necessary
