The Jordan Fire Department got a special event permit for its 125th anniversary party.

A downtown parade begins at 1 p.m., Fire Chief Steve Kochlin said, and bands begin playing at 7:30 p.m. at the fire station, which is located at 501 Varner St. in lowertown Jordan.

Other festivities -- including water fights and other firefighter competitions, games for children, fire truck displays, dancing, beer and wine coolers, pop, bottled water, tacos, French fries, hamburgers, and hotdogs -- will wrap up about 10 hours later, Kochlin said.

The Jordan City Council unanimously approved the permit.
