The Portage (WI) Fire Department celebrated the arrival of a new Pierce Enforcer engine with a short presentation and a push-in ceremony, according to a report published by the Daily Dodge.

At the event, firefighters explained the tradition of a push-in ceremony pays tribute to yesteryear when fire equipment was pulled by horses which couldn’t back the apparatus into the station easily, according to the report, which added that the fire department will mark all new deliveries with this type of service.

The new apparatus is a big step for the fire department as it will be replacing a 1986 engine and will be compliant with National Fire Protection Association standard, according to the fire department’s Facebook page.
