Vernon Fire Rescue Services (VFRS) invites the community to join the City of Vernon in celebrating two new fire trucks being put into service. On November 16th, a traditional push-in ceremony and public open house will be held at Fire Station #1. Everyone is welcome.
Date: Saturday, November 16
Time: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Location: Fire Station #1
3401 30 Street, Vernon BC
A push-in ceremony involves members of Council and firefighters pushing the apparatus into the bay, remembering the days when horse drawn fire engines had to be pushed back into their stations after a fire.
On October 3, 2019, (VFRS) received delivery of two new Pierce fire apparatus. A new fire engine will perform a dual function and replace both a 34-year-old engine and a 17-year-old rescue truck. The new ladder truck replaces its 28-year-old predecessor.
