Fire Station No. 1 was constructed in 1909 for Engine Company No. 1, formerly located at Colfax and Broadway, and serving all of downtown Denver. The firehouse served for 66 years and was one of the oldest when it was decommissioned in 1975. It opened to the public soon after, retaining much of the look and feel of a working station. The Denver Firefighters Museum is dedicated to the preservation of Station No. 1, and the collection and display of firefighting equipment and memorabilia. It is also a depository for historic information of the Denver Fire Department. Many artifacts date from 1866 and include three hand drawn pieces of apparatus known to have been themed in Denver, along with two early motorized vehicles.
