Firefighter Chris Johnson from Concord Fire, Engine Co. 1 sent in these photos of yet another unique drop bar installation. From the outside it has the tell-tale signs like any other drop bar installation. Carriage bolt heads, “blank” in place of a door knob, and covered latch assembly. Click on the supplemental page to see what’s waiting for us on the other side. In addition be sure to check out the safety memo (on the supplemental page) that Concord Fire uses to share this important information.

Scroll down to page 9 to read the article I wrote regarding drop bars with these indications on the exterior. Yes you are still going to have to attack the slide bolts with conventional methods, but you can have another option for getting the drop bar out of play. Any questions,want the pics, email me: chadsworthks@yahoo.com
