FIRE SANTA 2024 IS UNDERWAY!
The Fire Santa Program, run by Newport Beach Firefighters, has been a beloved holiday tradition for 19 years. Each year, firefighters adopt a local family in need during the Christmas season, providing support beyond just holiday gifts. While the program originally aimed to ensure children had everything they wanted for Christmas—such as presents, a tree, and decorations—it has since expanded to meet a wide range of needs. Through community fundraising, the program has helped families with home remodels, groceries, job placement, and even paying off medical bills or preventing eviction. The goal is to extend our service to the community by providing meaningful, lasting support to those facing challenging circumstances.
