Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - 1958 F.W.D. - 08-28-2007

Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - fyreline - 08-28-2007
We used to rent a house on the Cape every summer - usually around Harwichport. The first year we went there, we got a little lost and when we stopped to ask directions the guy kept telling us to "bear right at the next rotary". Well, years ago back in New York (sorry, Noo Yawk), a "Rotary" was the name of a chain of gas stations. I figured they must still have them in Massachusetts, so that'swhat I was looking for. After getting turned around a couple times, I went back to the same guy and asked him what gas station he was talking about. He said, "where you from, Mista?" When I told him New York, he said, "OK then, what your lookin' faw is what you call a soickel". We found our way easily after that.
I always loved all the old Maxims on the Cape - are any still in use?

Nice to see some Cape pictures here. Later this fall I will post some of mine. Hyannis E-826 is one of the last Maxims left on the Cape, it's a late 80's early 90's model, actually was to suppose to go to Worcester but tough financial times didn;t allow it so Hyannis bought it.
www.capecodfd.com is a great Cape site to look at.

Hyannis 826 is a 1990 Maxim 1500/1000/50 Foam. If I'm not mistaken it was THE last Maxim ever produced.

Cape Cod Installment 2. The C-O-MM FD protects the villages of Centerville, Osterville and Marstons Mills in Barnstable Township in the center of the Cape. They operate out of three stations, one in each village. with the headquarters station, a large 5 bay brick building with a two story attached department headquarters building located in Centerville. The other two stations are smaller, all fulltime manned.

I visited Cape Cod back in 1997. Just around the corner of my Bed and Breakfast in Chatham was the fire station.
Engine 186 operated a 1989 Pierce-Arrow with 1250 gpm-pump and 1500 gallon-tank.

I think this is Warden 6-1, but not sure, pulling a supply trailer.
