New Melfort fire truck in service after wet-down
Playing pranks on others is often associated with best friends, family members, or fraternities.
Turns out firefighters get a kick out of them, too.
The Melfort District Rural Fire Fighting Department Society’s new fire truck was officially put into service Saturday, with a wet-down and push-in.
A wet-down is a tradition where fire departments from other cities come with their own engines and hoses to wash down the new truck, taking the honour away from the home fire department.
