Loma Linda residents have had and will continue to have the chance to see their Loma Linda Fire Department, partnered with the Colton Fire Department, as fire units adorned in festive holiday decorations caravan throughout the neighborhoods in the 2014 Parade of Lights. Beginning Dec. 15 and running through Dec. 20, Loma Linda residents are viewing the display and have the chance to see this season’s most popular man: Santa Claus is escorted on a decorated sleigh by Loma Linda Fire members. Children may also enjoy candy canes distributed by Santa and fire department personnel. Fire officials explained that the use of emergency sirens will announce the parade in each neighborhood, scheduled on six different nights.
