Terrell (TX) Fire Department Pushes In New Brush Truck

PRESS RELEASE

On Monday, July 10, the Terrell Fire Department had the opportunity to have the official Push-in Ceremony for Brush 621. The Push-in ceremony dates back to the days of horse drawn fire apparatus that had to be literally pushed back into the fire station after each call.

We would like to give a big thank you to Assistant Chief, Dustin Conner, for all the hard work he put into finding the department a state funded grant which paid for Brush 621 and various other equipment as well.

We would also like to thank Mayor Rick Carmona and Fire Chief Shane LeCroy for joining us this morning and Chaplain Gary Weems for praying over our new apparatus as we place it into service.
