Denver's first firehouse was built in 1909 and now serves as a museum where original items of the trade are on view, including uniforms, nets, fire carts and trucks, bells, and switchboards. Artifacts and photos document the progression of firefighting machinery, from horses and carriages in the early 1900s to the flashy red-and-white trucks of today. The museum rents out its second floor for weddings and parties; climbing in and out of fire trucks for hours at a time while eating cake is particularly exciting for kids.
