On October 4, the Thomasville Fire Rescue held a traditional Push-In Ceremony to commission its newest 2022 Sutphen Quint fire engine and place it into service, TimesEnterprise.com reported

Thanking the council and the city manager for allowing the purchase of the fire engine, a fire official said that it wasn’t the fire department’s truck, it belonged to the community that had entrusted them with it, the report said.

A city official said that the presence of the community for the ceremony was an indication of how Thomasville feels about the service that Thomasville Fire Rescue provides for them, according to the report.

An additional ceremony would be held in a couple of months to mark the commissioning of a similar engine, the report said.
