Collapse, Dive, and FIRE FIGHTING

Denver Fire Department Station 1 is the final station we visited during our first (but not last) trip to Colorado. Station 1 sits directly next to the Colorado Convention Center in Downtown Denver.  Locating it at the busy intersection of Colfax Avenue and Speer Boulevard.  In its history, this is the third location of Station 1 which was built in the 1970s.  The house is the home to Engine 1 and Tower 1, but also their Special Operations units, along with the District 2 fire chief, and serves as headquarters for the Denver Fire Department. Due to the location and the specialties this station has to offer it is one of the busiest stations within the department.  Engine 1 runs on average 5,500 calls while Tower 1 runs about 3,300 calls per year. Those kinds of numbers are closer to a full station call volume rather than a single unit.  Their main coverage area is District 2, meaning the downtown area of Denver, but being part of the Tech Rescue Taskforce they can be called all over the city. Neil Bunker does a great job of walking us through the stations showing us everything from the living quarters to the weight room, and the trucks.  We love the fact that these guys are not your typical firefighters but also accept the training and responsibility of the Tech Rescue disciplines.

Whenever you are in the Denver area please take the time to stop by and say hello to the crews at this station.  They would love to hear from you and show you around.  Station 1 is a unique place in which the camera just does not seem to capture the feelings you get standing in it. It's a MUST-SEE location.  

Thank you to Neil Bunker and now Chief Greg Paxley (former PIO) for allowing Heroes Next Door to film this unique and special station. You all are the true definition of Heroes Next Door.
