Off-duty firefighters are giving Santa a lift aboard a fire truck so he can pass out candy and toys to good girls and boys through Dec. 24, according to a news release from Dunedin fire officials.

Fire officials said Santa will be leaving on his nightly rounds each evening around 6 p.m. from the station on Ed Eckert Drive in Highlander Park. Santa’s helpers will make every effort to keep to the schedule, weather permitting, the release states.
