The Denver Firefighters Museum
- 1326 Tremont Place, Denver
The Denver Firefighters Museum is in
historic Denver Fire Station No. 1. The
building was constructed in 1909 for
Engine Company No. 1 by Glen W.
Huntington, noted Denver architect, as
one of the largest firehouses ever built
in Denver. The building served as a
working fire station until 1974 and was
listed on the National Register of
Historic Places Nov. 14, 1979.
Today, the Denver Firefighters
Museum is open to the public six days a
week year round. Hands-on activities
combined with the museum’s exhibits
provide information about fire safety
and prevention and the history of the
Denver Fire Department and historic
Fire Station No. 1. Try on firefighting
equipment, slide down a pole and ride
on a fire truck designed just for kids. Or,
watch videos and play video games to
find safe ways out of a house fire.
