Narrative:

On takeoff a pressure bump was felt; the master caution; doors; and fwd cargo lights illuminated. After the initial pressure change with a bump we declared an emergency; ran and complied with QRH checklist and landed. I would like to see operations incorporate and have number available for immediate return to the airport.
