Speaking of Engine 11…
In 1985 the Apparatus Division paint shop began turning out apparatus in the new “Stars and Bars” scheme. This pumper appears to be one of the three 1982 Hahns. The 1982 model was transitional. The previous fourteen Hahn wagons had Circle-D lamps mounted on telescoping poles whereas the ’82 models had the new Nightfighter spot/flood lights. Subsequent Hahns had light bars in lieu of the rotating beacon.
Note the shop’s elegant billboard proclaiming “If we can’t fix it, it ain’t broke”, incorporating a Hahn as their emblem. At the time of the photo the DCFD was running twenty-two Hahn pumpers and three Hahn ladder trucks.

Kevin, I can't recall the name of the clown at the shops around the early 80's. Who supposedly made the statements to 1) Bring the new diesel to the shop if it isn't running right, we'll give it a tune up and 2) don't worry about the transfer valve being broken, just run it in the stage it's in...
I'm drawing a blank on that one. He was no doubt not the sharpest tool in the shed. Then again who could be under TR? LOLOL
Stay safe, Brothers.

Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.
Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.
