FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Santa Claus Requests AHAD For Assistance
December 24, 2025

The Atchison-Holt Ambulance District has received a very special call for service this evening when Santa Claus himself has requested our assistance during his Christmas Eve operations.

Due to the forecasted dense fog over our ambulance district this evening Santa told us he did not feel that Rudolph’s red nose was enough lighting for his sleigh to operate safely.

“Santa asked if he could use our newest ambulance with his reindeer to deliver presents to all the boys and girls in our district safely,” said Chief Mays. “He was extremely appreciative of our ambulance district supporting him in this very important mission!”

If you happen to see our ambulance flying through the air tonight with lights flashing, don’t be alarmed!

The Atchison-Holt Ambulance District reminds the public that whether it’s Christmas Eve or any other night of the year, our crews are always ready to respond — even to the North Pole’s finest.

Merry Christmas from all of us at the Atchison-Holt Ambulance District.

Our on duty crew, EMT John Mackey and Paramedic Gene Bradley, say that had a blast at the Mound City trunk or treat! Gene said these were his favorite costumes there, but we feel he may be biased since it's his grandkids hahahahaha.
