History

The Denver Lion's Club started to talk about forming a Fire Department in 1957. The club raised money to help buy the stations first truck in 1958, with the chassis being bought in the Fall of 1957. Bob Smith sold the land to the station for several hundred dollars. Construction of the fire station started in the fall of 1958 and went through the Spring of 1959. In the mean time the fire truck was kept in Wade Fox's garage until the station was finished.
