Happy Holidays SAFER friends and family,

It is my sincerest hope that this message is finding everyone in good health; this year has provided unimaginable challenges for everyone. I am resolute in my belief that we will survive this pandemic and related crisis’ but not without a little hardening of our soul. 

For several years Santa Fe Springs Fire Department has hosted the December SAFER meeting; and each time it was like a holiday homecoming! I was really looking forward to this year’s gathering and extremely disappointed that it is being cancelled due to the ongoing restrictions of COVID 19. 

As I write this notice the COVID 19 Vaccine has arrived in southern California, perhaps the gift we have all been hoping for, a Christmas miracle perhaps! 

I would like to thank Santa Fe Springs for their continuing support or SAFER and the Holiday Greetings they generously share, if there were ever a time for their seasonal cheer it is now.

I would also like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Holidays and a great New Year!!

Please be safe, look out for each other and remember all the business out there who could really use your support!!
