Streamwood firefighters mark truck's arrival with tradition
It's not engine trouble, it's tradition.
Streamwood firefighters will physically push the department's newest fire truck into the headquarters station at 6 p.m. Thursday, a time-honored tradition to bring trucks into service.
The short ceremony dates back to a time of horse-drawn equipment, when the animals struggled to back the apparatus into stations.
The event will be held at Fire Station 33, 1095 East Schaumburg Road.
