Custom Artwork for Wetdowns: Celebrating New Fire Trucks with Style

A wetdown is a monumental event in every firehouse’s history. It's a tradition that celebrates the arrival of a new fire truck or rig into service, complete with the symbolic spraying of water from other fire trucks. This event is more than just a ceremony—it's an opportunity to celebrate the hard work of firefighters and to showcase the new truck with pride.

One of the most exciting ways to commemorate a wetdown is through custom artwork designed specifically for the occasion. Whether it's artwork for the fire truck, promotional items, or banners for the event, custom designs make the celebration even more special.

At Eighth Street Designs, we’ve been creating custom artwork for firehouses for over 20 years, and we specialize in designs that honor the dedication of fire departments during wetdowns. From full-color truck prints to personalized banners, we have the expertise and the latest technology to create stunning, high-quality artwork that brings your firehouse's pride to life.

Why Custom Artwork for Wetdowns is So Important

Wetdowns are a time for firehouses to showcase their new trucks in the best way possible. Custom artwork not only enhances the celebration but also adds a personal touch that reflects the unique identity of the department. Whether it’s featuring the department’s logo, a special design for the truck, or commemorating the dedication of the crew, custom artwork makes a lasting impression.

Here are a few ways that custom artwork can elevate your wetdown celebration:

1. Full-Color Prints of Your New Fire Truck

Using the newest full-color printing technology, we can create stunning, realistic images of your new fire truck or rig. These vibrant prints can be applied to everything from banners and signage to t-shirts and souvenirs for the event. No detail is too small, and our printing technology ensures that every color pops, giving your new truck the attention it deserves.

2. Custom Banners and Signs

Banners are a great way to create a festive atmosphere at the wetdown. We can design and print custom banners featuring your department’s logo, the name of the new truck, and special messaging to commemorate the occasion. Whether you’re displaying the banners at the firehouse or along the parade route, custom signs will make the event feel even more special.

3. Personalized Fire Truck Art

For something truly unique, we can create custom artwork of the truck itself, featuring detailed imagery of your fire rig in action. These designs are perfect for displaying at the event, printing on the truck itself, or even creating keepsakes for the crew. We work closely with you to ensure the design reflects your firehouse’s spirit and dedication.

4. Event Merchandise

The wetdown isn’t just about the ceremony—it’s also a time to celebrate with the community. Custom merchandise like t-shirts, hats, and mugs featuring the new fire truck’s design or event branding are a great way to commemorate the occasion. Not only does it serve as a keepsake, but it also allows attendees to take home a piece of the event.

5. Commemorative Plaques and Artwork

Many firehouses choose to display custom plaques or artwork in honor of their new fire truck. Whether it's a framed piece featuring the truck’s image or a specially designed wetdown plaque, these pieces become part of the firehouse’s history, serving as a lasting tribute to the occasion.
