man stranded on the roof of the building. Crews arrived on scene and went to
work raising the aerial device to the roof only to discover the stranded man
was the one and only Santa! Firefighters brought Santa to the street for all
the kids to meet as his sleigh remained on the roof, for his return to the
North Pole.

The K9 handlers had made a request to orient their dogs with firefighters in full PPE and with fire equipment they may run into while on a search. Chief Pettyjohn, Lt Kintzler and FF Brooks assisted with the request which included Truck 1-5 and raising the dogs in the basket. A good time was had by all with a new and different training involving the companies.
