MAHOPAC- The sounds of screaming sirens and blasting air horns permeated the Putnam countryside Saturday when firefighters and EMS providers conducted their annual tradition—the Candy Cane Run.
Dozens of first responders traveled throughout neighborhoods countywide delivering the traditional holiday treats.
By day’s end, an amazing 33,457 candy canes had been distributed along with hundreds of dog treats for that special pooch.
Mahopac Fire Chief Gabe Rivera joined his firefighter brothers and sisters calling the day “special. The firefighters and their families enjoy this day as much as the recipients of the candy canes do. To see the looks on the children’s faces when Santa hands them a candy cane makes all the preparation well worth it!”
