The Morrisville Fire Department celebrated July 4th by hosting a "wet down." It's a ceremony to place a new fire truck in service. Firefighters splash water on the new truck and on anyone who wants to join in the fun.
Dozens of families participated in the event Saturday afternoon. The department also set up games for kids to experience what it's like to be a firefighter.
"It's the citizens' taxes that fund this truck and allow us to have safe, reliable equipment. And so we want them to be a part of the celebration of putting this new truck in service," said Fire Chief Todd Wright.
The department's new truck cost $465,000. It's the department's seventh truck. And it carries more water than most trucks, so firefighters can take it to rural areas that don't have hydrants. It is expected to last 10 to 15 years.
