Truck 204 - 2006 Pierce Dash 2000 100’ Heavy Duty Tractor Drawn Aerial
The pride of Eden, this rig was designed over a period of five years to allow for the replacement & consolidation of the company’s tower ladder & heavy rescue into one apparatus. Measuring in at 61.5 feet long, it can turn a complete circle in just 28.8 feet and is the first Pierce tiller with a 30 kw hydraulic generator split into two PTO’s powering the generator & the aerial/rear wheels. Featuring a four section 100’ aerial with a 500 lb. tip rating and a 1,000 gpm master stream, the rig is equipped with on-spot tire chains, headsets for all riding positions, six 900W high intensity lights on the tractor (equivalent to 5.5 1500 watt quartz lights), six 750W fixed/portable quartz lights on the trailer body, two 900W high intensity lights on the aerial (equivalent to 1.8 1500W quartz lights) and four 200’ electric cord reels.
Truck 204 replaced & consolidated the functions of the former 1994 LTI 102’ rear mount ladder tower and a 1990 Emergency One walk-in heavy rescue. Set up to act as both a truck & rescue company, it is one of only three units in Lancaster County to meet the Pennsylvania Dept. of Health’s Voluntary Rescue Service Recognition Program at the Advanced Response level. It is believed to be the only aerial device in the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to meet this standard on a single rig.
