OK heres a doozy of a question.. Anyone out in the midwest know anyone that received a 1982 Hahn topmount pumper from the east coast around january 2002???? My Dept. traded the vehicle in, I saw it online and contacted the dealer to see where it was sold to. All he said was the midwest (warthog country??) I work for a police dept. and even tried to run the vin# nationwide with no luck. Anyone have any clues?

Hi Frank,
Curious about the Bethany Beach GMC/Hahn. About 12 years ago, while vacationing in Bethany Beach, I found this GMC serving as a sign holder for a townhouse complex.

Camden-Wyoming Kent County Delaware (Bowers Beach <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/lol.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol2:' /> is also from Kent)
Two unusual Hahn trucks,a 1966 Chevy tandem tanker truck,750gpm, tank size?
and a truck I had a hard time finding a photo of, a 1974 1000gpm 500gwt International 1700 (?)
It looks like a new back on the 1974 truck, see builder name on upper front cabnets
L-4 & L-6 were the fire spires. L-9 was the Hahn-LTI.
IIRC, L-14 was given old L-6 when they received an E-1 135' aerial, and the 135' was later sent to L-3 after they wrecked their 110' E-1 in a collision with L-4 and their 135' E-1 on a Spartan. L-3 was rebuilt later and give to L-8, the E-1/Spartan was totalled.
E-6,10,12 received the 1983 Hahns.
during the fiscal fustercluck of the 90's, these old hahns saved the DCFD. Held together with bubble gum and bailing wire (and a coat hanger now and then... <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> ), these rigs took a beating and kept going, even when the newer, but crappy Ford/E-1's were falling apart.
E-11's Hahn as posted was rebuilt after E-32's icy road incident. Chauffeur walked away, IIRC.
E-32 was known as the "Over the hill gang" for obvious reasons after that incident.
And IIRC, for some reason this flipped over Hahn ran like a raped ape. I think is was the best running Hahn DC had. It hauled a$$. They (E-11) hated to see it go.
Stay safe, Brothers.

Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.

Like a Hahn held with Bailing wire and bubble gum, and better than that Ferrara you got stuck driving. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' />
Then Hahns did the trick. And this coming from a Mack Man. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
