Hahn...post them if you got them.

I heard he was a Vollie back years ago, but didn't know where. He did seem to know the "lingo" when on SNL a while back.

Brian mentioned it in an interview on one of the talk shows several years ago, only saying that it was Middletown Township. Throughout the USA's history there have been a lot of of famous people who were members of volunteer fire companies at one time or another. Among them George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and of course Ben Franklin who statrted it all. In recent times Governor George Pataki of NY, US Senator Al D'Amato of NY, and Rep. Curt Weldon of PA (founder of the Congressional Fire Service Caucus, the largest such on Capitol Hill).

Frank- Do you have a shot of a 1965 C-10 from Lester, PA? I stumbled onto it today in Georgia.

I have this pic of it when it was on sale, Antioch FD

[GA_Dave]

It looked much better then. Today, it was stripped of all lights and hardware, sitting in the woods behind Antioch Station 1. It's a shame it has been discarded in this manner, but they couldn't find anyone who wanted it.

Perhaps they didn't look hard enough....

[GA_Dave]

I hear ya, Jay! They had it on Ebay and also on their website for quite a while, but never got much response.

I think this is the department that got the two 81 Hahns from OWL. We have a picture somewhere with those two pumpers plus this one. Anyone confirm? I can't find the paperwork anywhere.

DOH!

I went there in search of the Hahns, not knowing their origins. I was quite surprised and recognized the '81 immediately. The one I shot runs as Engine 106, more or less the reserve at Station 1. It was the second built of the pair. The other one runs as Engine 3. Antioch operates from six stations, most of which are one bay garages for a single pumper. Station 1 is home to the rigs I'll post tomorrow and Station 6 houses Engine 6 and another reserve pumper.

That's awesome, I can't wait to see how they look. I bet it's been at least ten years since they bought them.
