TRADITION That Is FLAWLESS

Station 11 was built in 1936, and is the second oldest active station in Denver. This beautiful historic house still utilizes the four original fire poles descending straight from the bunkroom to the bay. Very few firehouses still offer the classic firefighter thrill of bunk to rig in seconds. Greased for optimal slip be sure to get a firm grip. This 85-year-old house provides that coveted retro-style with 3 bifold door bays that currently house two units - Engine 11 and a Special Operations Rig (Rescue 1).
Station 11 is located in the Baker neighborhood and thus became known as “The Fabulous Baker Boys”. The station logo represented the 1976 American LaFrance Squirt 11 from 1987 until 1993 but when Pumper 11 replaced the Squirt in the bay the logo was updated as well.
Thank you for watching and if you find yourself in the Denver, Colorado area stop in and check it out. We are confident that they would be more than happy to open their doors and show you around. We highly recommend it!

I was a firefighter in Germany for 25 years. I like to watch videos about firefighting from the USA. When they are informative like this one, I am even more pleased. Thank you for these videos.
-
Awesome fire house really liked how humble and well Mannered the young man was
-
We lived in an old carriage house next to the church at 63 Acoma st. for a year or two. Just around the corner from the fire house. I was in the "Head Start" program in 1968, and I got to do a field trip here. I wanted to slide down the pole pretty bad. So, someone held me up, and I slid down a few ft. Made my day!
-
Excellent to see these old stations and their history!
-
I lived in Littleton, Colorado for 10 years before moving back to Louisiana. Worked as a truck driver for The Rio Grande Company at 2nd avenue and Santa Fe Dr. I used to pass by the big DFD firehouse on Colfax during deliveries. Props to Denver fire and their beautiful white rigs. You guys rock.
-
Wow! The stories inside those walls. Thanks for doing this Mike!
-
Pride and Ownership at its best.
-
Really like their motto on the rigs. Another great video Mike! Thank you!!
-
I worked at 11's back in the 70's . Then 11's had an engine and a truck company. The engine was a Ward La France. One of 2 in the city. 7's had the other one. The truck was a 100ft midship aireal. Sorry about the spelling. It was a great house to work at
-
What a great representative of the Denver Fire Department , I was fortunate enough to do a 12 hour ride along with that house back in 1997ish ,Had a great time and still looks the same .
-
Great segment. I’d rather work in the old houses than the new sterile ones built today. The buttons on the board ARE an East Coast thing in the big Departments that have an old traditional watch desk, FDNY, Baltimore, DCFD etc.
-
They look so thrilled to have you there
-
I like that you are showcasing Denver Fire Dept because all the love goes to South Metro. DFD needs love too haha
-
Mike, thank you. What I love about you and the content your not condescending or feel like you know it all when going to these firehouses. Thank you for everything seriously thank you. If there’s away to private message you I will.
-
Great video as always. I like those old stations, how well kept they are. Thanks for the great work, and greetings from Costa Rica
-
Thank you again for your video series. The DOOR opener (Buttons) next to pole on bay floor very nice. Never heard (Oyster) term used for ( Probe) like to eat Oysters, that is a nicer term for NEW guy of gal. Because it's a Historical Building, the sleeping quarter stay open room style. I see so many NEW build station with private Rooms for crew's. It reminds me of Navy ships. The Officers get private quarters, the Sailor all sleeping in a open crew quarter. The difference is a Navy ship they put 3 bunks together, because of space on ships. Large Bulk heads water tight, so a Navy ship can keep fighting with a hit.
-
I like the look of the church on the map at the beginning
-
Lovely video, shared to my fb group 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒
-
Y'all should come over to Jacksonville FL soon
-
Extra treat of getting that Q action
