Denver Firefighters Museum

The mission of the Denver Firefighters Museum is to preserve the history of the Denver Fire Department and  firefighting through the collection and preservation of artifacts,  documents and photographs. The purpose of the Museum is to educate the  public about fire safety and the history of firefighting in Denver from  its inception to the present. This is accomplished through interpretive  exhibits, educational programming and scholarly research.

It is the vision of the Denver Firefighters Museum to present exhibits that are tangible expressions of the history of the  Denver Fire Department. The goal in presenting exhibits is to  entertain, educate, and guide the public in the pursuit of new  interests. Exhibits also are designed to provide the public with a  better understanding of the origins and growth of present community  interests, activities, and attitudes. These goals are accomplished by  using objects, documents and photographs to interpret the Denver Fire  Department’s past and present experiences with the community.

The Denver Firefighters Museum maintains a collection of more than 30,000 artifacts, photographs and manuscripts.
