🚨⚓ The Milwaukee Fire Department Boat Team proudly invites all citizens, department members, families, and supporters to attend the official Recommissioning & Christening Ceremony of the fireboat Trident on Sunday, May 24, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Discovery World, 500 N. Harbor Dr. ⚓🚨 Free to attend!
After an extensive 18-month renovation and modernization project, the Trident is officially returning to active service — continuing its proud tradition of protecting Milwaukee’s waterways, harbor, and Lake Michigan shoreline.
This historic vessel has long been one of the Milwaukee Fire Department’s most unique operational assets, and we are excited to celebrate the next chapter in its service to our community.
🔥 Event highlights include:
• Official recommissioning and christening ceremony
• Live fireboat maneuvering and water display demonstrations
• Public tours aboard the Trident
• Meet and greet with MFD Boat Team members
• Family-friendly and kid-friendly activities
Kids will even have the chance to help “put out fires” using water pumped directly from Lake Michigan through the Trident’s firefighting system!
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Discovery World and State Shore Park for their tremendous partnership and support throughout this project.
We hope you’ll join us on the lakefront to celebrate the proud return of this iconic fireboat and the dedicated members who serve aboard her.
