Decorated South Tahoe fire truck to parade through neighborhoods
It’s that holiday time of year and the South Lake Tahoe Fire Department would like to encourage everyone to think of those less fortunate members of our community.
At all the city fire stations, you can drop off any new or like-new condition used toys into the Christmas Cheer barrels. Any donations will be gratefully forwarded to needy households this holiday season.
Also, the city fire department will again be handing out candy canes from the decorated fire truck driving throughout the community. Starting on Dec. 10 and continuing through Dec. 23 the holiday truck will make its way through specific sections of the city.
These scheduled dates will be dependent on the weather, and may be changed due to driving conditions or emergency responses.
The South Lake Tahoe Firefighters hope to see many of you on our routes this holiday and would like to wish everyone a safe and joyous season.

Thanks, Kae. I must have missed it the other day. I really enjoy seeing the decorated truck even though my kids are grown with kids of their own. I’m just a kid at heart.
I always enjoy the “Sleigh”. This evening, driving just from Safeway to Al Tahoe Blvd, I saw many more colored lights on businesses. They look great! I emphasize colored, because white looks so everyday and bland. It’s the Holidays, break out the festive colors!
Even though colored lights are great, thanks to all the businesses that put up lights.
Did anyone see the mystery tree lights on Pioneer at the intersection with Al Tahoe last night? On the hill side…do we have someone decorating at random? Very cool I think!
