🚨🎅 SANTA IS COMING TO TOWN! 🎅🚨

The countdown to December is on, and the Richmond Hill Fire Department is getting the trucks polished and ready for our annual Santa Nightly Runs! We are so excited to bring holiday cheer right to your neighborhood.

A Few Quick Tips for Families:
• Listen for the sirens! When you hear the music and sirens, that's your cue that Santa is turning onto a street nearby.
• Stay safe on the sidewalks. For everyone's safety, please keep children and pets safely on the sidewalk or driveway as the trucks pass by.
• Weather updates: Santa loves the snow, but heavy rain or emergencies might cause delays. We will post any nightly updates or rescheduling info right here on this page and on our Santa tracker!

Water Flow Testing Notice 💧🚒

Beginning this week, RHFD will be conducting routine fire hydrant flow testing throughout our community.

If you see water flowing from a hydrant or notice crews working in your neighborhood, don't worry—this is a controlled test to ensure our water system and fire suppression equipment are ready for an emergency!

What you should know:

Temporary Water Discoloration: You may notice slight discoloration in your tap water. If this happens, simply run your cold water tap for a few minutes until it runs clear.

Low Water Pressure: You might experience brief drops in water pressure while testing is active on your street.

Safety First: Please slow down and move over when driving past our crews working on the roads.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to keep our community safe!
