One of Wyndham’s Christmas traditions will take place again this year, with the Werribee Fire Brigade running their Christmas Eve lolly drop on December 24.
Accompanied by Father Christmas himself, members of the brigade will climb aboard their fire trucks and traverse the streets of Werribee, throwing lollies to kids and their parents and wishing them a Merry Christmas along the way.
Lieutenant Rohan Rizzoli from Werribee Fire Brigade said the longtime event will take place at the same time as in previous years.
“What we’ve traditionally done is go around the streets of Werribee from mid afternoon” said Lt Rizzoli.
While the lolly drop has been a Christmas Eve staple for many years, Werribee’s continual growth led the brigade to consider downsizing or changing the event.
But while the exact route hasn’t yet been formalised, Lt Rizzoli confirmed that they’ll again try and drop lollies to all parts of the suburb.
“We will continue to reach everyone across Werribee,” he said, provided, of course, that their day job doesn’t intervene.
“The brigade endeavors to get to everyone, although this may not be possible due to emergency incidents.”
Families wanting to know when they should expect Santa and the firefighters to come down their street, are encouraged to check the Werribee Fire Brigade’s Facebook page for updates.
