On a similar topic, The Pine Bluff Fire Department is also participating in spreading holiday cheer during the season with their annual Santa Run that started November 29th and lasts until December 24th. The Santa Run is hosted by the PBFD and Carrington Electric Company of Pine Bluff, who contribute the lights and decorate the truck. PBFD also stated that with the help of Stereo Junction, they play a sound system as they drive throughout the local neighborhoods from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
