History

In downtown Denver, the Denver Firefighters Museum preserves the city's firefighting history in the former Fire Station No. 1, a 1909 firehouse designed by Glen W. Huntington. Established in 1978 as a nonprofit, it combines local history with fire-safety education through galleries on fire alarms, protective gear, firefighting equipment, training, major Denver fires, and the station's former living quarters. The building replaced an earlier Station No. 1 demolished for the Pioneer Monument and later gained landmark status and listing on the National Register of Historic Places. With more than 30,000 artifacts, it serves as both a historic record and an active public education site.
