Santa Claus Is Coming To Town!
November 6, 2020
For those who didn’t know, each year Santa comes to the station and then rides with us through our fire district, saying “Hi” to all the kiddos, moms and dads. And, we’ve added some technology to make it easier for families to know when Santa will be by!
Santa will be visiting the Jollyville area TODAY, Saturday, December 12th. Santa will start his journey from the fire station, working his way around the streets close to the station, moving outward. Santa will be traveling on the north side of Anderson Mill from 10a-12p and the south side from 1p-3p. If you google map the area, he will be traveling through neighborhoods in the following order:
10a-12p
Timberwood
Village Oaks
Anderson Mill Village South
Forest North Estates
1p-3p
Parmer Village
Millwood/Rattan Creek
The truck Santa is riding on does not turn around well so it will not be traveling down dead end streets or cul-de sacs. If you want to wave to Santa, make your way to a through street.
Unfortunately, Santa has a limited amount of time with us so he will only be traveling down streets and roadways that are in our fire district. If you live in the City of Austin areas, make your way to a street in one of the areas above to wave to Santa.
As for the new technology, we are using a tracking software called “Followmee” which will allow everyone to track Santa through the district. To find real-time updates on Santa’s location, copy the link below into a web browser:

This software does not update real-time, which means you won’t see Santa move around on the map, so you will need to refresh your browser each time you want to update Santa’s location. It’s also accurate to within about 60-80 feet so don’t rely too heavily on exact location accuracy!
Happy Holidays from Jollyville Fire Department!
