Please clear the hydrants on your property and around your home. If you see a hydrant near your property which hasn’t been cleared, please clear it - the house you help save may be your own.

The attached pictures are from some hydrants which were buried in Midland Park - please help us by making these accessible thank you

Registered Project Santa Participants - check your inbox! Confirmation emails have been sent!
Santa will be making his rounds starting at 5pm.
Please make sure your house is well lit, the painted stake is in your front yard that morning, and your house number is clearly visible for your delivery! Santa may be delivering to your neighborhood both evenings.
Due to the volume of visits and potential for our MPFD members to respond to emergency calls during this delivery window, we cannot accommodate specific delivery time slot requests. Generally, the majority of Santa’s deliveries fall between 5p-7p, barring any fire calls. All requests have been taken into consideration to the best of our volunteers’ ability, however, early or late requests are not guaranteed.
Please Note: in order for Santa to share his Christmas magic with all of the children, he is only able to visit each house for a few minutes.

Thank you for participating in MPFD’s Project Santa!
Please feel free to reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions.
