Engine Push In Ceremony

Everyone is invited to join firefighters in welcoming South County Fire’s newest fire engine to service with a traditional push-in ceremony Monday, July 21, 9:30am at Lynnwood Civic Center Fire Station, 18800 44th Ave W, Lynnwood.

Everyone attending the ceremony will help “push” the new engine into the firehouse. This custom dates back to the 1830s and the days of horse-drawn equipment, which could not be easily backed into the station. Firefighters would unhitch the horse team and push the equipment into the station.
