SBY Airport to Hold Ceremonial ARFF Truck Wet-Down

SBY airport

On November 10th, 2021 at 3:00 PM, the Airport will officially welcome its newly acquired Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) truck into service with a ceremonial wet-down.

The wet-down is a ritual that dates back to the late 1800s, when horse-drawn pumpers were used throughout the fire service. Back then, newly commissioned horses would be washed alongside their pumpers at the fire house before being pushed back into the fire house bay by firefighters. The ceremony will be held at the ARFF hangar located adjacent to 5381 Airport Rd. Salisbury, MD 21804. You are invited you to be a part of this special occasion.

When arriving, please pull off airport road at the location shown below and proceed to the gate where you will be directed to parking.
