Santa Claus made a unique entrance in Dickinson this holiday season, swapping his sleigh for a firetruck to spread joy throughout the city.
In Dickinson , Santa Claus didn't bring his usual sleigh. Instead, he drove a firetruck through the streets, making kids and adults happy. On Saturday, Assistant Chief Tim Johnson of the Dickinson Volunteer Fire Department dressed up as Santa Claus and waved happily from the top of a fire truck. As firefighters dressed as Santa drove through the neighborhoods, they were met with holiday cheer and candy.
