Denver Firefighters Museum

Set in fire station #1 just off Speer Blvd., the unique Denver Firefighters Museum is housed in a beautiful 1909 firehouse and showcases a century of historical artifacts and family interactive areas that can be found by following firefighters’ bootprints.

On the main level are six themes that follow the process of fire: communicating fire (how fire has been reported over the years), firefighter’s personal protective tools and equipment (bunking gear, helmets, boots and firefighting tools); fire apparatus (hand-pulled, horse-pulled and motorized fire trucks and engines), fire suppression (methods for extinguishing fire through water and chemicals) and other duties (life safety tasks that firefighters perform and an interpretation of the history of Station No. 1.

The second level features three themes: rigorous firefighter training, Denver’s fires and living quarters at the station. Visitors learn about the large fires in Denver’s history and visit the station’s living quarters including dorm room, officers’ quarters, locker room, bathroom and family room. Temporary exhibits are also on this floor.
