Come be a part of history, as we place four new Spartan Engines into service with a traditional push-in ceremony!
The "push-in" tradition dates back to the days of horse-drawn fire equipment in the 1800s. Upon returning to the station, because horses were unable to back in, firefighters had to unhitch the equipment and push it into the bay.
Although manually "pushing in" engines is no longer necessary, the tradition lives on! Fire departments hold push-in ceremonies when placing new engines into service to honor the history of fire services.
