i can attest to this....I don't work in fire no police no even EMTor EMS...but everytime i buy a new car or sell it i douse it with a cold one. I don't drink and drive nor the sort but i pray over it and then douse it. So far so Good
That is bt far the most elaborate/unusual fire police unit I've ever seen. What's with the body design? What does this unit carry - traffic control equipment, right (cones, signage, etc.)?
A Wetdown symbolises the truck being Officially welcomed into the department. In most cases the trucks are already in service, as it would be a shame to have an expensive truck sitting around waiting to organize a Wetdown. But the Wetdown is the little Welcome onto service party and a chance to show them to your neiboring departments and of course your own resisdents and taxpayers.
The two Mechanicstown trucks look smick, don't they? What does the wetdown symbolise - the trucks entering service for the first time or something else?
Cool. Never seen a wetdown before!

What's in the "Technical Rescue Unit"? Is it a confined space, collapse, trench unit? STAY SAFE!

Hi Joe,
