[quote name='grumpyFF' post='118207' date='Jun 11 2007, 10:07 ']Found this one at the Catskill Fire-Cats Antique Apparatus Show and Muster yesterday, in Circleville, NY. I could not find any info on it,
Hahn with Ford V8 badges from Hamburg, PA[/quote]
Additional info:
1935 Ford V-8/Hahn. Built by Hahn in Hamburg for Union FC-Hamburg (Berks Co.),PA. Originally a 2 tank chemical truck. In 1943 a 500 gpm front-mount pump was added. Protected the Hahn plant. In 1951 the underwriters surveyed the Borough of Hamburg and found the fire company had obsolete equipment. Hahn was building apparatus for a multitude of customers but the hometown was suffering. The result was the complete rebuild of the 1935 by Hahn and two new front-mount pumpers on Ford chassis by Hahn. In service in Hamburg until 1967.
