A new engine was delivered to the City of Atwater on Monday and the community turned out an unveiling and “push in” activities, according to Fox 26 News.

The New 2020 Rosenbauer, with a classic red and black finish, was the first new engine Station 41 had received since 2015, reported Fox26News.

The “push in” event is a tribute to the days of horse drawn fire pumpers that had to be physically pushed back into the station because horses could not backup easily and they were unharnessed from the engines when the apparatus was rehoused.

The engine was pressed into service shortly after being put in service responding to a medical call, the television station reported.
