Kennewick to Mark 3 New EMS Units With “Push In” September 16
What is a Push In, and why is Kennewick having one on September 16th?
Major event to mark arrival of 3 new ambulance units
The Push in Tradition dates back to the 1880s when horse-drawn fire units in cities had to be physicially pushed back into their garages after a service call. They didn't expect the horses to push them backwards, it was easier to detach the horses and move it using people.
Now, it's a fire department tradition from coast to coast. September 16th, at noon, there will be a push-in at the newest Kennewick Fire Station, at 6016 West 10th. at the corner of 10th and Kellogg.
Fire Station #65, which opened just under 9 years ago, is the newest in the City, and was added to serve the growing population. There will be a variety of activities, tours and more, the public is invited to attend.
