The Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department (MVFD) in Urbanna is sponsoring three evening “Santa’s Neighborhood Visits” events via fire truck in Urbanna, Burrell’s Marina Road, Remlik, Kilmer’s Point and Saluda on Dec. 10, 11 and 12.
“We are happy to announce that Santa Claus is making a pre-Christmas visit to the Urbanna, Remlik and Saluda areas,” said MCVFD Fire Chief Ray Burch. “He has asked us to allow him to ride on one of our fire trucks so he can reach out to as many children in the community as he can.”
If it rains Santa says he will cancel his visit on that night but he will see you all on Christmas Eve — rain or snow or fair weather, said Burch.
Santa’s fire truck visits will run 6:30 to 8 p.m. each evening and his schedule includes:
- Saturday, Dec. 10, Urbanna area — from 6:30 to 7 p.m. Santa will ride down Waverly Road to Meadow Lane and to Garnett Hill Drive; from 7 to 7:45 p.m., the fire truck and Santa will travel down Grace Avenue, to Linden Avenue to Park Street, to Rappahannock Avenue, to Kent Street, to Cross Street, to Watling Street and across the bridge to Molly’s Way; from 7:45 to 8 p.m. Santa will also travel down Lord Mott Road to Hampstead Avenue.

He’ll go to Remlik Drive, to Robinson Creek Drive, to Harbor Landing, to Cedar Point Drive, to Waterford Drive, to Kilmer Drive and will finish off at Kilmer’s Point Drive; and from 7:45 to 8 p.m., Santa will travel down Burrell’s Marina Road outside of Urbanna.
