Snohomish County Fire District 1 recently welcomed its newest fire engine to Mariner Fire Station 11 in unincorporated south Everett with a rolling-in ceremony. The rolling-in ceremony is a fire service tradition dating back to the 1830s. Part of the ceremony includes having firefighters push the new engine into the firehouse, a custom from the days of horse-drawn equipment, which could not be easily backed into the station by the horses. Sporting Fire District 1’s red and black color scheme, the new engine includes features to improve safety and fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Other design features improve ergonomics and visibility within the cab and pump panel to make it easier for firefighters to do their job.
