Beacon Hose Plans Bring Santa Home, Tree Lighting and Fire

Update: Thanks for your support! Merry Christmas!

One of Beacon Hose’s most rewarding events is coming back again on Saturday, Dec. 10 — yep, it’s our Bring Santa Home campaign!

They’ll give you all the secret details, including the timeline of the morning’s visits and the previous evening’s gift drop-offs. We’d like you to make the arrangements ASAP, but the deadline is Dec. 9. We ask for a donation of $20 per visit to help support our Christmastime programs.

53rd Annual Firemen’s Carnival Goes Down as BHC’s Best Ever

The community support for the 53rd annual Beacon Hose Firemen’s Carnival was absolutely unparalleled and made us at Beacon Hose grateful and humble. Carnival chairman Kyle Brennan has a few words to share about the event:


On behalf of all of us at Beacon Hose, I want to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who joined us for our carnival this year. By every measure possible, we enjoyed our best event ever (by a long shot). That’s all thanks to the tremendous community we serve and the unrivaled dedication of our volunteers.

I, along with my awesome committee, put us out on a limb this year by turning the carnival on its head and making some big changes. With the combination of our volunteers’ hard work and our visitors’ patience, everything worked better than we could have imagined. I hope you found the lines more bearable, the atmosphere less cramped and the experience more enjoyable this year. The changes we made are here to stay, and we’ll only try to make it better next June.
