Columbia Fire Department hosts “push in” ceremony for new firetruck

COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– A new set of wheels is joining the Columbia-Richland Fire Department, as the team hits the streets in the northeast part of Columbia. At Station 4 on Spears Creek Church Road, a new Ladder 4 truck was welcomed into service.

Firefighters, city leaders and other area leaders marked the day with what is called a community ‘push in’ ceremony. Leaders say the new truck will help meet the growing needs of the northeast area.
