Habersham County puts new fire engine into service

By AccessWDUN Staff

Habersham County officials on Monday held a ceremony at Habersham County Emergency Services Firehouse 12 on Duncan Bridge Road to officially place Engine 12 into service.

According to a press release from the county, personnel from Habersham County Emergency Services pushed Engine 12 into the firehouse, keeping with a long-time tradition.

"The history of the push-in ceremony dates back to hand-drawn fire engines, ladder wagons, and hose carts that had to be pushed into the station by hand," the release reads.

Engine 12 is a 2022 Spartan S180 with a 1500-gallon-per-minute pump and a 1000-gallon water tank.
