Firefighters escort Santa around Coeur d'Alene neighborhoods

Coeur d’Alene firefighters tonight will start driving Santa around Coeur d’Alene neighborhoods collecting food and cash donations for the food bank and spreading Christmas cheer.

Santa’s sleigh is an old fire truck decorated with Christmas lights and also plays Christmas music. 

When you hear the music or see the sleigh, come outside, donate some food, talk to Santa and get a candy cane. 

Santa will be on the road from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. each night through Monday.
