Eden was really smart when they proposed this piece, they had an E\-One Hush rescue truck (sold to Lyons, NY) that was up for replacement. They also had a Simon-Duplex/LTI tower that was going to need replaced in a couple of years. They pitched the tiller idea to Manheim Township as a cost saving idea in that they could replace 2 pieces with 1, Manheim Township almost didn't go along with the idea due to the money it would cost up front but after looking at prices of the two truck seperatly they went along. Eden is very, very blessed with live in firefighters and has quite a large number of very well trained firefighters who run from home and so staffing for this piece is not a problem which was my first thought when I heard about this plan. It is very well set up truck and was very well thought out by the guys at Eden!

Here are the predecessors of Truck 204:
Rescue 24 was a 1990 E\-One Hush with 350 gpm/ 300 water.
