The Matthews Fire & EMS Department will hold a christening ceremony for its new platform truck. You are invited to attend the “Wet Down” Ceremony which will be held at 12:30 p.m. on November 6 at the fire department, located at 236 S. Trade St.
The “Wet Down” Ceremony is a traditional ceremony that is held when a new truck goes into service. The truck will be wet down by other fire trucks and the public will have water pistols so they can participate in the ceremony. The truck will then be towel dried and pushed into the fire station by firefighters.
