December 22, 2023 – Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue’s Technical Rescue Team, dressed as Santa, the Grinch, Buddy the Elf, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, rappelled down Broward Health Medical Center, spreading the holiday cheer.

A large crowd of pediatric patients, nurses, caregivers, and physicians were treated to a delightful surprise as the team rappelled down the building, waving and cheering. Even those who could not be present enjoyed the show through their windows.

Following the rappelling, the firefighters then headed up to the pediatric floors to bring toys and joy to the children who were in isolation due to respiratory illnesses.

Broward Health values its partnership with Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue, which made the day possible.
