Housing Ceremony for New Fire Apparatus

Westovers Fire Department members "pushed in" their new Engine 7 vehicle on March 9, 2012. Part of the traditional housing ceremony includes having the firefighters push the new apparatus into the firehouse. The origin is reported to be from the time of horse drawn equipment which could not be easily backed into the building by the horses. (U.S. Air Force photo/SrA. Kelly Galloway)
