The Axemen M/C was founded in the Detroit Metro area in March of 1998, by the original 12 founding members. The purpose of forming this club was to have a club exclusive to IAFF members, working and or retired. We are a group that shares the Brotherhood of both Firefighting and Motorcycling and the traditions that come with both. The Axemen M/C nation has now grown to comprise 33 chapters in 16 states across the nation. Even with that expansion, the Axemen nation has continued to pride itself on living by its motto "Quality over Quantity".  ​Many of our Chapters are 501(c)(3) organizations, and all Chapters hold charity events throughout the year, donating monies to organizations such as burn camps for children, medical research (cancer, Parkinson's, ALS, etc), hospitals, and many other worthy causes.
