That's a 1968 Hahn if I remember correctly.

Forgive me if they've been posted alread, Kinnelon Volunteer Fire Company, Kinnelon NJ, once was all Hahn. This black & white shot was taken shortly after the delivery of their 1969 Hahn 750 gpm/750 tank. At the time the 18 square mile borough had but 5,000 residents (now nearly twice that many with a myriad of multi million dollar homes) with only a handful of hydrants. This was their first custom job joining what was fleet of 5 Ford chassis with fire bodies by unmemorable builders equipped with 500 gpm front mount pumps. Today they have 3 Hahns (2 engines, 1 rescue with pump), 3 Pierce (2 engines, 1 tank with pump), and 1 S&S tank with pump) and all pumps are 2000 gpm.

I don't think the pic of Kinnelon NJ's 1969 Hahn came through.

In 1981, Kinnelon bought a pair of twin Hahn 1000 gpm engines with 1000 gallon tanks. This is Engine 1 which was assigned to their Co. 1 in a public section of town while the other was stationed at Co. 3 located inside the 8 square mile private club community of Smoke Rise which also has volunteer members.

The last of Kinnelon's Hahns was delivered in 1987. As far as I know it's still in service. Back in the 1980's, one of Kinnelon's chiefs realized that the cost difference for every 250 gpm of pumping capacity was very small compared to the overall cost of the engines so if the motors could supply the power, they upgraded to 2000 gpm pumps.

Well, Hahn lovers...close your eyes and hold on...
These are very recent photos of my companies ex-engine 2922, as well as ex Burlington Twp Engine 3022...she is up for sale by the way... Im in the process of claiming this from the current owner. If I do I'll let you all know...she's hurting bad. Going to need some serious TLC. Photo Credit to Sean Desjardins |
