If you happened to see a large number of fire trucks, police vehicles and ambulances with their lights on Tuesday evening in Boardman, it was all to escort St. Nicholas to Akron Children's Hospital.

The first responders' lights helped guide Santa's sleigh to the Market Street campus of Akron Children's Hospital ahead of Santa's visit to patients as a part of Operation Santa's Sleigh. 

An operator at the campus told 21 News to let viewers know not to be alarmed if they saw an influx of response vehicles on their Boardman commute.
