Long gone are the days of a couple casually telling friends and family the gender of their baby. Now, partners prefer to stage elaborate reveals to dramatically announce whether they will be adding a boy or girl to their family’s tribe. We get it—who doesn’t want to be in a constant state of celebration throughout the entirety of a pregnancy?
A New Jersey firefighter and dad got his department in on the suspense, creating a splashing reveal.
In the Instagram video, the father, who goes by the Instagram handle @Tomas.vasil.186, is seen with his wife and son holding on to the massive hose attached to the fire truck. With the engine flashing its lights and the gathered crowd screaming in anticipation, the family sets off the hose.
And it’s a… boy!
As the hose water emerges, a baby blue stream of water jets out. The fire truck blares its horns, and the excited family takes in the happy surprise.
