Jenks firefighters took part in a time-honored tradition by pushing their new fire truck into the station.

Station 2 just received a new engine to replace a 30-year-old truck.

The tradition comes from long ago - when fire engines were pulled by horse and had to be pushed back into the fire station after each call out.

To initiate a new fire truck, firefighters continue the tradition by pushing it into the station.
