Brendletown Fire and Rescue celebrated its new fire engine with a push-in ceremony at the fire station on Bennett Road on September 12, Morgantown.com reported.

The new fire truck has a larger pump and can hold more water (1,500-gallon-per-minute pump, and has 1,900 gallons of water on it) than the department’s other apparatuses, a fire official said.

During the push-in ceremony, firefighters pushed the apparatus into the fire station the way they would’ve done in the early days of firefighting.
