Members of CRFD participated in a Push-In Ceremony for 6522. A Push-In Ceremony is a time honored tradition that celebrates the history, teamwork, and unity of the fire service. 🧯🪓

The tradition has historical roots that date back to horse drawn fire engines. Horses could not easily back the wagons into the station bays, so crews would unhitch the horses and push the apparatus back in by hand after calls. 🐎🚒

We are honored to take part in such long standing tradition in rain or shine! Welcome 6522! 🚑

On Wednesday, Ambulance 6522 was officially put in service. Fr. Mark Walter joined us to bless the new ambulance as well as the firefighters and paramedics who will serve our community aboard it.

Thank you for everyone who came out to celebrate this moment in CRFD history! 🚑
