ST. LOUIS – Dozens of fire trucks lined Grand Avenue Monday evening. It wasn’t for an emergency situation, but rather a jolly surprise.
Fire trucks from north and south counties and St. Charles County showed up with ladders drawn to share the holiday spirit with sick children at Cardinals Glenn Children’s Hospital.
Ladders lifted up Santa himself to windows at the hospital.
A firefighter from Black Jack says it was the least their department could do. He estimated more than 20 departments participated in the secret Santa surprise.
