Special Report - Santa Tour

Volunteer Firefighter, Mrs. Pamela Petermann shared that she knows Santa 😉as the Annual William Killinger Christmas Tour brightened up the night on Friday adding sunshine 🌞 to a rainy Saturday morning! Chief Greg Yfantis of the Cliffside Park Fire Department shared how the William Killinger Christmas Tour is named after William Killinger, a Cliffside Park firefighter who was the spearhead behind the Christmas Tour who passed away several years ago. Chief Yfantis also shared how it felt appropriate for the Fire Department to honor him by naming their Christmas Tour the William Killinger Christmas Tour. Officer Christopher DeLucca of the Cliffside Park Police/Fire Department shared that they start Friday night and continue all day Saturday. He enjoys being in character and seeing the smiles on the children’s faces too. Chief Yfantis also shared how the Fire Department drives up and down all of the blocks in Cliffside Park handing out lollipops to the children. Santa Claus shared how thankful he is to the Cliffside Park Fire Department for helping give his reindeer some rest before the long Christmas season. Additionally, Chief Yfantis shared how this year is also a special treat because William Killinger’s son, Will, flew in this year from Wyoming. William Killinger, Killinger’s son, shared that he had to pay his respects and honor to his dad’s Tour that he spent so long contributing to and how part of the reason he also wanted to come is to pay respect to everyone who continues his father’s legacy and his name. Will also said this, “It’s unreal how Cliffside is different from any other place I’ve traveled to, literally talking to other people and telling them that they don’t understand how it is here. The camaraderie, the brotherhood, it doesn’t make-sense to anyone.” And finally, Santa says that he loves the Cliffside Park Fire Department and thanks them from the bottom of the North Pole’s heart. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! @cliffsideparkfire Video curated & produced by @lindamccue12 #cliffsideparkfiredepartment #cliffsideparkfiredept #thewilliamkillingerchristmastour
