'PUSH-IN' DRILL EXECUTED BY LOGAN VFD
In the late 1800s, fire departments relied on horse-drawn equipment to respond to fires. After returning from a call, the horses couldn't back the apparatus into the station, so firefighters would unhitch the horses and manually push the equipment into the bay.
The "push-in" ceremony evolved into a symbolic gesture that represents the unity of the fire department and their commitment to serving the community. It also serves as a way to honor the history of firefighting and mark the official start of the new vehicle's duty.
On Sunday, they carried on the tradition not for the start of a vehicle's duty but an entire hall! We are so blessed to serve a community that has supported us during this process!
While we still have some more work to make our new home 100% complete the new hall is up and running. We even answered our first call this afternoon officially starting a new beginning for the department.
An official grand opening ceremony will be held at a later date.
