The missing girls are Vanessa Gleave, 12, and Audrey Gleave, 8.

Spokane County Fire District 4 Celebrates with Ladder 41 Push-In Ceremony ;
Meggan Leal, Contributing Writer

Spokane County Fire District 4 welcomed their newest addition to the team: Ladder 41.

Ladder 41 is an “aerial apparatus,” which is a firetruck with a ladder that can lift firefighters and water to higher elevations when needed. Ready at Station 41, the ladder was honored by the firefighting team with a “push-in ceremony” on Oct. 16.
“Ladder 41 is going to save lives and protect property through the use of the men and women in Spokane County Fire District 4,” fire chief Mike Nokes said. “It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but during its lifespan, this piece of apparatus is going to make a difference for our community.” He also thanked the commissioners and the citizens for approving and facilitating the purchase of the truck for serving the community.
After Nokes addressed the crowd, assistant chief Johnson talked about the history of the push-in ceremony, explaining that it is a firehouse tradition dating back to the 17th century, when horses pulled the steam-powered fire engines, but could not back them back into their bays. The team would have to disconnect the engines from their horsepower and manually push the apparatus into the firehouse. Firefighters today honor all of the teams and history that came before them by washing, blessing, and pushing new engines into the garage when adding them to the rescue team. He then invited everyone to help wash the new truck, bless it, and cheer on the firefighters as they pushed it back into its new home.
After it was finally parked, everyone was welcomed to walk around Ladder 41 in the garage to take photos and ask questions.
