Questions about Eden Truck 24 and Engine 204.



Is there seperate Companies joining together, and that is the reason for the different colors?



The Township purshased 4 identical pumpers. Are they assigned to different Companies?



Was the Truck designated 24 and then changes to 204?



Thanks



And nice Truck and very well planned out. The new Engine is no slouch either. Great design to keep the pumper small and easy to get around. In many situations (my opinion), Companies try and stuff everything plus the kitchen sink onto pumpers, when sometimes less is better. Plus with a Truck like that, who needs a lot on the Pumper.

From what I understand 4 Fire Companies within Manheim Township merged into one operation in a sense. Joint training and purchasing to name the two that were mentioned while I was there. All the new rigs will be blue and the 4 engines purchased are actually rotated once every month or two to balance the miles... That's why there is a removable number plate on the new rigs. I think the Truck is radio designated as 204.
