The Palm Coast Fire Department was feeling festive this year with the release of the 2019 Fire Truck Christmas Light Show (view it HERE).
“We enjoy the opportunity to build community spirits, enhance a holiday season and make someone’s Christmas more bright.”
— JERRY FORTE, Palm Coast fire chief
This is the second year in the row the Fire Department released a holiday entertainment video to help create a larger audience for their general messages of community involvement and Fire safety around the holidays.
“For the second year in a row, our guys shared their creative ability to produce something for the entire community to enjoy,” Fire Chief Jerry Forte said. “We enjoy the opportunity to build community spirits, enhance a holiday season and make someone’s Christmas more bright.”
Last year, the department released a techno version of holiday favorite “Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree” (performed by Brenda Lee) in sync with the lights of emergency vehicles.
Last year’s video had a reach of over 128,000 Facebook users.
This year’s release features a recording of Christmas in Hollis by RUN DMC. In less than 12 hours after the release, it has gone viral again, with over 13,000 Facebook views.
The video was produced by Driver-Engineer Guillermo Arnold, a self-taught and creative video producer who wanted to enhance the holiday spirt of the community.
“This is one way we can spread the holiday cheer,” Arnold said.
The Palm Coast Fire Department invites residents to take part in the fun. You can view the video on Facebook by clicking this link: http://bit.ly/PCFireXMas. Don’t forget to like and share with your family and friends.
