With their strong backs, some Grand Prairie firefighters have inaugurated a new fire truck.

Called "Squad 5", the apparatus is specifically designed to "...respond to HazMat calls and other major incidents."

The engine is also equipped to serve as a mobile command post for especially large incidents.

In accordance with fire department traditions, the firefighters at Grand Prairie Fire Station #5 leaned in and pushed "Squad 5" into its bay at their fire house by hand.

The department shared video of the impressive feat on Twitter.
