Those pics were awesome! Thanks for posting. That was a 1976 Maxim> it was sent to the junk yard, and the cab is now the bar in someones basement, but lettered for a boston ladder.

All of these come from the collection of Dan Meader who was kind enough to share it with me for my collection!
Combination 1 and the first Engine 1 Georgetown. Combo 1 is the first motorized piece of apparatus in GTown. Combo 1 is a 1918 Ford with chemical tanks. This is the first of Georgetown's Engine 1's. It is a 1924 Maxim. Enjoy. rr...
Combo 2's 1923 Ford again.
Many chemical extinguishers, no pump/tank etc. The "dreaded station shot" also has the nose of the '24 Maxim and the 1875 Amoskeag Steamer in it. rr...
More of the first Engine 1.
1924 Maxim, served until '47 until it was replaced with the Seagrave. rr...
Georgetown Engine 2, 1937 Ford/Wood Brothers. Built locally in Topsfield by Wood.
This was rehabbed in the early 60's by Maxim, compartments added among other things. This truck is still owned by the Central Fire Company in GTown and is a regular in parades year round. This shot was taken at Wood Bros in Topsfield before the truck as even complete. rr...
Central Fire Station on Middle St. November of 1940.
Taken from the house across the street. Combination 1's '39 Diamond-T Wood Bros, Engine 2's '37 Ford Wood, Engine 1's '24 Maxim. Combo 1 is still around, currently owned by the gent who shared these pics with me, and will hopefully be roadworthy after being in the barn for 20-some years. rr...
So, moving on.
1947 brought a new Engine 1 to town. 1947 Seagrave, stayed in service until 1984 until replaced by a Hahn. rr...
Same view, different Engine 1.
The Maxim is in the extreme left of the picture. rr... |
