The engine will be dedicated in the memory of Lt. Glenn Witko, who worked for the fire department from 1995 to 2010, shortly before he passed away.
The new vehicle, which cost about $500,000, replaces one that is 14 years old.
Vice Mayor Paul Gibson and Council Member Bill Jonson also are planning to attend.
Station 50 is located just east of Countryside Mall at 2681 Countryside Blvd. The station serves neighborhoods and businesses located in the northern part of the city.
