From DeKalb Illinois Fire Department on Facebook:

The DeKalb Fire Department Friday held a dedication ceremony for the new fire engine at Station Two on South Seventh Street.

As Fire Chief Mike Thomas explains, the ceremony honors the days of horse-drawn fire equipment. After a call, the firefighters would wash down the equipment before it was pushed back into the station.
