Hopkinsville Fire Department to provide pumper truck, water hose during weekday afternoons.
With summer heat on the rise, the Hopkinsville Fire Department and Hopkinsville Parks and Recreation Department are teaming up to help the community cool down.
Beginning Monday, July 6, and lasting through the end of August, an HFD-provided pumper truck will be traveling to five different parks — for an hour, from 2-3 p.m. each weekday — to safely spray down attendees with a water hose and nozzle during the first-ever Hoptown Hose Down initiative.
Use of the extra truck and personnel from the Fire Department will not take away from any regular services provided or emergencies responded to by HFD/EMS. Parks employees on site will be facilitating the mobile spray parks while also enforcing health and safety regulations, including social distancing.
