Check Out 20+ SF Fire Stations Decked Out for the Holidays
San Francisco Fire announces the 2nd annual Fire Station Community Holiday Decorations Competition.
During the 1940s, stations would compete for the best decorations and best-decorated stations for the Holiday seasons. This tradition was lost in the 1950s, and last year we brought it back. Firefighters and their respective stations are encouraged to participate and get creative!
In 2020, over 20 fire stations participated and this year, they’re hoping for more.
The winning stations will get a prize to donate to a San Francisco-based charity of their choice.
The San Francisco Fire Credit Union is sponsoring the following:
• 1st place — $3000 To be donated to the charity of choice
• 2nd place — $2000 To be donated to the charity of choice
• 3rd place — $1000 To be donated to the charity of choice
Friday, December 17th: The judging groups will start to evaluate submitted photos of stations. Judges have the option to visit the outside of stations that entered. Tuesday, December 21st: Each judging group will submit their top three selections to the Grand Judge, determining the top three ranking from 1st place to 3rd place. The SF Chronicle will announce the winners and the charities the winners selected.
On 12-22-2021, the National First Responders Fund will send hot chocolate and cookies to each Station entering the competition.
