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.

GA_Dave has it correct, there are the three fire departments that operate in Manheim Township... orignally Lancaster County was set up in a zone format.. so Eden was company 2-4, Southern Manheim Township was Company 2-11 and Neffsville was Company 2-7. A couple of years ago when Millersville, Washington Boro, Highville and West Lancaster merged to become Blue Rock Fire and Rescue they petitioned for and got the company designation of 90 (which is way out of the old numbering set up)... since that time other companies are now going with that numbering scheme as mergers and such happen. Manheim Township renumbered thier stuff to reflect this new numbering scheme, some other changes including the Columbia Borough Fire Department merging Columbia #1 (8-1), Susquehanna Fire Department (8-4) and the Columbia Consolidated Fire Department (8-7) under the designation of 80 (so Truck 8-1 will now be Truck 801, Rescue 8-4 is now Rescue 804, ect). Also Rheems Fire Department (my old home) went from Station 7-11 to Company 70 to keep with the new numbering system, it appears that companies will now drop the dash and go that way (ex.. Elizabethtown will have Engine 741, 742 and Truck 74 at some point). I am glad I don't run in Lancaster County anymore, I would have things all screwed up LOL
