Denver Firefighters Museum: Learn Not to Burn
Denver Firefighters Museum: Learn Not to Burn
Located at 1326 Tremont Place, the Denver Firefighter's Museum is dedicated to the preservation of Fire Station Number One. Built in 1909 it was the largest fire station in the city for many years and served as a working firehouse until 1974 when it was designated as a local Denver landmark. In 1979 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been a teaching museum ever since.
The Denver Firefighter's Museum hosts many educational tours for local school kids and summer camp visitors. The many interactive exhibits teach fire safety and how it applies to daily life. The gift shop at the museum has a delightful assortment of things to buy. Burners Ablaze!, the Denver firefighter's offical cookbook, can be had for a fair price and promises many delicious, easy-to-prepare meals as well as an interesting read. The gift shop also sells lots of cool firetrucks as well as hats, jackets and fireman-inspired pajamas.
Firefighting is a dangerous endeavor and the Denver Firefighter's Museum memorializes firefighters who lost their lives defending persons and their property from the ravaging forces of uncontrolled fire. Perhaps their best effort is in educating children in fire safety, so that less lives will be lost in future fires. Kids visiting the museum see the Learn Not to Burn presentations and learn burn first-aid techniques. These lessons are especially invaluable for babysitters and daycare providers.
The Denver Firefighter's Museum is open year-round. Rent space for a special birthday party or unusual wedding reception in the museum, too. Schedule a real live firefighter to speak to your class.
