East Hanover (NJ) Township firefighters brought their new fire truck to Lurker Park for residents to check out and for members of other departments to bless during a “wetdown” Saturday, NewJerseyHills.com reported.
Wetdowns have historically been a time for neighboring departments to come and literally wet the new truck down and christen it, but wetdowns have since become events where firefighters gather to celebrate instead of spraying water since the firefighters don’t want anyone getting injured, the report said.
