In 1983, a member of Engine 12 was killed when he fell from the jump seat of a Hahn while on an emergency response. At the time, members secured the seat by taking a chain attached to the cab and hooking it to an eye fastened to the hose body bulkhead (different types of “man saver” bars are seen on the Hahn…post them if you got them thread, starting with Frank B’s post #192). Around 1987 – 88 the Department began to retrofit the Hahns with Dutch doors on the jump seats.

Note: I know these aren't [i]really[/i] Dutch doors; that's just what we called them.
