The Maxim Motors Company built custom and commercial fire apparatus in Middleborough, Massachusetts from 1914 to 1989. Maxim built its first fire truck in 1914 for its hometown of Middleborough. Because of its proximity, Maxim became a prominent apparatus in Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts fire stations. The first motorized fire trucks in many departments were Maxims. Maxim built custom and commercial apparatus including Pumpers, Ladder Trucks, Tankers, and Brush Breakers.
Many Maxims continue to serve Cape area departments today.
The Maxim logo and cab style were easily recognized over the years. While the Maxim Fire Apparatus Company closed up officially in 1989, the images and memories of Cape Cod's Maxims are fond ones. These pages shares some of those images for all to appreciate.
