Schaumburg firefighters holding ‘wet down’ ceremony to welcome new truck
The Schaumburg Fire Department will hold a “Wet Down” dedication ceremony Friday to celebrate the arrival of the new Tower 52 fire truck.
The event will take place at 2 p.m. at Fire Station 52, 1024 N. Meacham Road.
The time-honored tradition includes a ceremonial “wet down” using the hose from the retiring truck, followed by the signature push-in of Tower 52 into its new home.
After the ceremony, attendees are invited to around for refreshments and meet the firefighters.
