ALL TOGETHER NOW | At Central Fire Station a small crowd gathered for a time honored tradition. The fire truck "push-in" ceremony began in the 1800s with horse-drawn fire engines, which had to be physically pushed into the station by firefighters after a call, since horse-drawn teams were unable to back them in.
In the modern day, this ceremony is undertaken symbolically to welcome new engines into service, honor fire service history, and unite the community with the Fire Department. With hands and hearts united in prayer Henderson Fire Department welcomed two new vehicles to their fleet.
