One link from your department opens a page any family can follow in a web browser, in English or Spanish.
Families watch Santa’s truck move through the community and see where it’s headed next.
The map shows the truck and tonight’s trail, never the viewer’s location. Under it are the street, time on the road, speed and last update. Positions run slightly behind and pause if the tracking phone loses signal.
Families tap to cheer Santa on, and the crew sees the count on the truck.

See the demo tracker Demo department: Main Street Fire Department, with a simulated route and sample photos.
When no Santa is tracking, your page shows where the truck is headed next, on the map and in a list with times, so families can plan where to watch.
Your photo crew adds pictures from the route. They appear publicly on your tracking page and recap.
Parents and guardians send a Letter to Santa on a child’s behalf and confirm that before the form opens. Letters aren’t public. Your department’s administrators read them in the app.

A season recap brings together route photos and engagement totals for your department.
Estimated viewers come from browser sessions. They’re estimates, not a headcount, so share them that way.
No app to download and no account to create, in English or Spanish. Viewers don’t sign in, and the tracking page doesn’t collect their locations, names, or contact details or use advertising cookies. The FD Santa Tracker Privacy Policy has the details.
FD Santa Tracker is free. Set up your department and make this Santa run one to remember.
