Special Olympics Texas is asking you to get fired up for its first Fire Truck Pull.

An 18,200 pound historical fire truck is what teams will pull.

The goal is to be the fastest team to pull the truck 50 feet, like you see in this YouTube video from Round Rock, TX.

And it all benefits area special olympians.

The Special Olympics Texas Fire Truck Pull is tomorrow in the parking lot of MSU's Prothro-Yeager building.

Registration is $200 for a 10 to 12 member team and starts at 10 a.m.

An opening ceremony begins at 11 a.m.

The Truck Pull kicks off at 11:15 a.m. with KFDX Weekend Anchor/Reporter Mechell Dixon emceeing the event.
