The Lake Havasu City Fire Department held a push-in ceremony for its new pumper recently, the city said in a Facebook post recently.

Although this is the first time Lake Havasu City is celebrating this ceremonial apparatus push-in, this practice is a time-honored tradition in the fire service dating back to the era of horse-drawn engines.

“We are excited to add this new engine to our fleet and to continue providing the highest level of service to our community,” said Fire Chief Pete Pilafas. “We invite the public to join us for the dedication and push-in ceremony to learn more about the new engine and to meet the firefighters who will be serving the south side of the city.”

The event included the dedication of the new engine, a push-in ceremony, and a tour of the fire station.
