Crews from Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue are continuing to travel the county as their much-loved Santa sleigh tours make a comeback this month.
Fire stations are taking part around Lincolnshire, visiting local residents with Father Christmas and collecting donations for the Fire Fighters Charity and other good causes.
Thirteen stations confirmed they would be taking part in the coming days and weeks. Donington and Kirton have already had their sleigh tours, but there are still 10 more to enjoy and some other fire stations are expected to announce their details soon too!
Due to the weather, the coronavirus pandemic, call-outs and other restrictions, people are being advised to visit each station’s social media accounts for planned routes and timings.
See the current routes and timings below, which the crews will do their best to stick to, but please be wary that these may change:
Lincoln North fire station – December 13-17
Monday, December 13 – Ermine East
Tuesday, December 14 – St Giles & Tower Estate
Wednesday, December 15 – Ermine West
Thursday, December 16 – Glebe Park, Welton & Dunholme
The first sleigh ride will leave Skegness fire station at around 4.30pm on Friday, December 10, so pop out and give Santa a wave and cheer along the way.

Villagers in Fiskerton remain cautious yet optimistic in the face of potential flooding, a month after they were advised to evacuate following a considerable amount of rainfall.
Several residents have continued to vigilantly monitor the River Witham’s water levels, prepared with sandbags outside their homes as a precaution after Storm Babet damaged two sections of the riverbank. But, despite the looming threat, there is a prevailing sense of confidence among the community, suggesting that further flooding is unlikely.
News that a £165,000 improvement project on the Handley Monument in Sleaford will commence early next year has been supported by local residents, who feel it is a much needed addition to the town centre, but it hasn’t come without its fair share of criticism.
North Kesteven District Council unveiled its plans for the historic Handley Monument in Sleaford, with a view to improving the surrounding area and also lighting up the monument to attract more attention to its role in the town’s history.
