CARMEL, Ind. โ 13News sports director Dave Calabro came up with something a little different for this week's Good News segment.
We tagged along as Santa Claus and the Carmel Fire Department visited several senior communities - including one where Dave's mom resides!
Fire departments modified their Santa visits during the pandemic by putting the jolly one on a fire truck and driving him on nightly tours.
Now that even kids 5 and over are able to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and visit Santa at a closer distance with reduced risk, fire departments are continuing their neighborhood tours.
In Carmel, the fire department added routes to include senior care facilities and improved the online tracking system.
