The Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol Inc. (The Patrol) will host Operation Santa, a benefit in support of its 94 years of volunteer service to the town of Greenwich, delivering holiday cheer complete with Santa and The Grinch on Dec. 11, 12, 18, 19 and special limited deliveries on Christmas morning.
“Operation Santa is another example of the support the Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol provides our community,” First Selectman Fred Camillo said. “It also gives the community an opportunity to celebrate the season with the comfort of a holiday tradition, with a twist.”
The Patrol provides a broad spectrum of services to residents and first responders, including firefighting, salvage operations, traffic and scene control at emergencies. One of the few remaining nationwide organizations, which specialize in the art of salvage work, The Patrol trains its members to protect valuable personal property inside a home or business that could otherwise be destroyed due to fire, water or smoke damage.
Each of the 25 service members of The Patrol must train for over 100 hours to qualify for their part in the organization. Members of the Patrol are a diverse group of men and women from many professions.
In lieu of the Cos Cob Fire Police benefit this year, visit ccfpp.org for donation information.
