Levittown firefighters joined with Santa on Christmas Day to deliver toys to children in need.

The Levittown Fire Department has been helping Santa deliver gifts for the past four years.

"We're a volunteer fire department, so we think it's important to give back to the community," says Capt. Paul Schefer.

It was a tough Christmas for 3-year-old Alana who lost both of her parents earlier this year. Her grandmother, Theresa Gersbeck, says Santa's visit made the holiday a bit easier.

"They put together an amazing Christmas for my granddaughter," says Gersbeck. "Something I wasn't able to do."

In all, 90 toys were delivered to 13 families. The toys were collected through the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program and a charity event organized by Miller's Ale House.
