August 18, 2012: 
Montague Vol. Fire Dept. "Wetdown" 
     This event marks a christening of brand new fire truck which joins the fleet.
Neighboring companies joined in the celebration.


Sandyston's VFD does the honor!

MVFD welcomes the addition of the

 2012 4-Guys Freightliner 2000 gallon Tanker.

New addition officially wet-down!

           The traditional welcoming ceremony originated among east coast fire departments - when changing out old fire pumpers for the new, with the horses being unhitched and water transferred to the new apparatus. The new pumper would be dried off after its wet down and it was then pushed into the stall - ready for service.
