Fire Dept. Push In Ceremony May 17, 2025 at 10 a.m.

May 17, 2025 @ 10:00 a.m. at the Farmersville Fire Department, 134 N. Washington Street

Join us for a special ceremony as we officially welcome Truck 1 to our fleet!

The tradition of "pushing" a new fire truck into the station, often called a "push-in ceremony" is a symbolic gesture that dates back to the era of horse-drawn fire engines when firefighters would manually push the apparatus back into the station after each call; it represents the unity of the fire department and their commitment to serving the community by welcoming the new vehicle into service, honoring the history of firefighting, and signifying that the new truck is ready to respond to emergencies. 

Come celebrate with us! Meet your local firefighters and tour the fire station!
