Happy Holidays! Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, or just enjoy this time of year, we have exciting news for you!
This year we are thrilled to announce that Santa will once again be travelling throughout our fire district!
Santa will be riding on one of our fire trucks and visiting neighborhoods in the community on select evenings between Tuesday, December 8th and Saturday, December 19th.
Please note that due to Covid-19 visits will be a little different this year. Santa will be using his best physical distancing skills and will remain on the truck. Santa will stop briefly at designated locations for Santa to wave and to snap a few quick photos, but we will not be handing out candy canes as we have in the past. We will sound the siren when we are coming!
Responses to the survey must be received by November 28th at 11:59pm. The full schedule of Santa visits will be posted on the “Hockessin Fire Company-Station 19” Facebook page no later than December 2nd.
IMPORTANT: If we are unable to attend due to a fire call, weather event, or a change in the State of Delaware Covid-19 requirements we will update our Facebook page and schedule an alternate date if possible.
Thank you for your submission and we hope to see you in your neighborhood soon!

Deputy Chief Emeritus Fred W. Long - 1940-2020
RIP Fred
Rest In Peace Fred, it was an honor knowing you!
Rest In Peace, Chief. You took us teenagers under your wing and taught us the way of the fire service. You were like a dad away from home. You treated each and everyone of us the same and certainly left a lasting impression. I am glad that you were able to see us grow into men, watching some of us choose a career in public service. You were loved by many and will certainly be missed. Until we meet again, Deputy 19.
Rest in Peace Sir. Thank you for your Service!!
RIP & thank you for your service to the community. 😢😢

RIP Sir

Rest In Peace
