On Saturday, December 13 some of the crew and their partners from Delabole Fire Station accompanied Father Christmas around the village. Despite the rain, many people turned out to see the fire appliance decorated with lights and tinsel. The crew were led by Station Officer Mark Saltern, and while Santa toured the village in the appliance, his helpers Jane Heard, Helen Ferguson, Jean Trewin and Louise McLachlan collected donations and gave out goody bags to the children. They managed to raise £249 for The Fire Fighters Charity.
