This from Josh Boyajian:

I attended the Wetdown Ceremony for Tri-State’s new Engine 511. The event was organized by Tri-State’s Acting Chief Pat Brenn, the trustees, and firefighters. The rig was blessed along with a prayer for the firefighters that are going to be using it. Engine 511 was then wet down and pushed into the firehouse bay where it entered full service Friday @ about 16:20. Here are some pictures I took at the event.
