"This Christmas and Hanukkah season, SF's December nights are once again razzle-dazzled up by the sixth year of the rebooted annual San Francisco Fire Station Community Holiday Decorations Competition. The contest is an old SF tradition from the late 1940s and early 1950s that returned in 2020 during the COVID doldrums, and this year the fire stations are competing for $4,000 in prize money for the winning stations' charities of choice."
"The problem right now is that barely 24 hours before these holiday block parties are supposed to happen, the SF Fire Department has still not even announced , not which of the 49 fire stations in town are participating. Guys, it will be hard for families to participate in these block parties if you don't even tell people where to go!"
San Francisco fire stations are participating in the sixth year of a rebooted Fire Station Community Holiday Decorations Competition, a tradition dating to the late 1940s and early 1950s that returned in 2020. Stations are competing for $4,000 in prize money awarded to winners' chosen charities. Judging will occur Saturday, December 20, from 5 to 10 pm, accompanied by public block parties at participating stations featuring holiday treats and family-friendly gatherings. Winners will be announced Sunday, December 21. The San Francisco Fire Department had not published the list of participating stations less than 24 hours before the events. Observers scouted likely participants, including Station 39 at 1091 Portola Drive.
