IT'S SANTA - COMING TO THE RESCUE IN VIRGINIA BEACH!

             It was a cold Christmas Eve two years ago when Dan Daugherty, a volunteer paramedic with the city, and his crew aided a woman who'd fallen ill in a Rosemont Forest home.
She was fine after some attention from the medics, but her two granddaughters, who were about 5 years old, were terrified.
             That is, until Santa stepped in.
             Soon a hearty "Ho! Ho, Ho!" came through the crackle of Daugherty's radio and Santa himself asked to speak with the girls. He reassured them the medics were there to help and reminded them to leave out some milk and cookies for his visit later that night.
              By the end of the conversation, they were smiling again.
              For the past six years, Santa has made himself available - through a direct radio connection to the North Pole - to speak with Virginia Beach children who experience an emergency in the days leading up to Christmas. This year, he's on call starting today and continuing through Christmas Day.
