I remember Shark River Hills FC bringing a mid 70's Hahn to our 85th anniversary / NJ State Exempt Firemen's 101st convention / North Jersey VFA parade 24 years ago today on June 20, 1987. Wouldn't that be a coincidence if this was the pumper?

Anybody know where Dale City (Prince William County) VA's 1981 Hahn-LTI 85' tower ladder went after they got their new LTI tower ladder? Any pics of it in it's second life? Nate, Mike ...anybody?
One slight correction Frank, after leaving Duncan the Dale City Hahn/LTI went to Abbeville County,SC not Drayton. It still serves in Abbeville County as far as I know.

In the late 90s, the truck was refurbished following a crash. It was used by a quick-thinking firefighter to stop a run-away Town front end loader from hitting unsuspecting public works employees. It sustained damage to the right rear but returned to service after repair.

The Hahn takes one for the team. Any photos of this incident?

Unfortunately I don't. The firefighter had just finished fueling the vehicle and was driving around the back of the Highway Garage when he saw the loader, with no one driving it, rolling down-hill toward a group of Town workers. He quickly positioned the truck between the crew and the loader and the truck acted as a barrier. Very quick thinking! This really was an outstanding truck for many years. It served in Franklin from 1987 through 2007 when they acquired a new Pierce.
