The Denver Firefighters Museum offers FREE entry (a rarity) to all on Saturday, August 30, 2025. Museum galleries showcase firefighting paraphernalia, fire alarm technology over the years, firefighter training, historic photographs and much more. Many exhibits have hands-on components. This is First Responders Day and visitors can meet the brave people who keep our communities safe.
You can also shop the museum’s antiques sale and kiddos can make their own first responder badge to take home!
Participating First Responder Agencies:
- Denver Fire Department
- Denver Police Department
- Denver Dispatch
- Denver Sheriffs
- Rampart Search and Rescue
The most interactive section is the Kids Korner gallery that reinforces fire prevention messages through computer kiosks, puppet theater, reading center and video center.
