Two brand new Maxim S-Model 1000 GPM pumpers were delivered in October 1968. One was assigned as Engine 4 and the other as Engine 3. In early 1974, both '68 Maxims were assigned to Station 2 as Engines 1 and 2.
After the delivery of the 1984 Pierce Dash pumpers in December 1984, the '68 Maxim that was assigned as Engine 2 was reassigned as Engine 5. It was packed with 1,800 feet of LDH for the north end of town. It remained in service until the late 1990s.
The exact date this pumper was sold is not known, but it changed hands at least once. Hamden Firefighter Daryl Osiecki recently found it in Shelton, along with the 1951 Maxim 750.
