About Denver Firefighters Museum

The nonprofit museum sits in downtown Denver and fills about 11,000 square feet across four galleries. Its exhibits trace how firefighting developed in the city. The building is a former Fire Station No. 1 dating to 1909, which is both a Denver landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum has operated since 1978 and offers areas where children can interact with exhibits on both floors. Recent hours have been reduced, and the museum has said it is working to stay open.
