The Clark Fire Department will be celebrating their 2 new Pierce Velocity Rescue pumpers. Fire Chief Frank J Cerasa would like to invite and welcome all to this family fun event to be held on August 15th from 12 p.m. – 6 p.m.  The event will be held rain or shine. It is a way for the Fire Department to thank the community for their support, and it is also a fund raiser, so feel free to invite out of town friends and family.
Live Music will be provided by The Nerds and The Mix. There will also be bouncy rides for the kids, food, beer and soda.
A wetdown is a family event and adults and children alike can get wet – if they want to.  Attendance and entertainment is free of charge, but drinks, including beer and soda,  and food require the purchase of a mug – only $15, wristbands will be issued with each purchase. Children under 12 can participate free of charge, but must be accompanied by an adult.
The event will be held on and around the firehouse located at 250 Broadway. Clark Police will be on hand to direct traffic to 3 local area lots. It is advisable to walk to the event if you can.
These 2 new Pierce Velocity Rescue pumpers cost $624,000 each and replace 3 old trucks, including 2 engines and a rescue truck. One of the old engines has been sold, the other two are on the market. The Fire Department also received $108,000 from the Township to purchase rescue equipment such as, Jaws of Life, spreaders, cutters and air bags.
The expense of the Wetdown celebration is to be covered by the fundraising activities of the members of the Clark Fire Department Association and through the sale of commemorative mugs on the day of the event.(above) New Pierce Velocity Rescue pumpers Clark Fire Engines 1 & 4
