TRADITION That Is FLAWLESS

- “We are owed nothing, but we owe the citizens of Denver everything.” - Firefighter Sean Nielson. These words capture the commitment and passion of Denver Fire Department Station 11. This station is home to 3 platoons (rotations) of two 4 member crews and runs 24/7. The large single bunkroom and shared proximity of the firefighters promote a family-like environment that is reminiscent of the early firehouse. See firsthand the pride, respect, and commitment these fine men and women have for one another, their house, and their city.
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!

#retro #HeroesNextDoor #history
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.
Ich liebe es auch die Folgen zu schauen 😎👍🏼
Jap, finde ich auch…❤
Geht mir genauso 👍🏼
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.
Thanks for watching. We have much more to come on the channel so make sure to subscribe, click notifications, but above all like the video.
LOVE the white and gold rigs! Very refined.
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 .
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
Thank you for your service and support
I used to drive the old #50 bus through that area and remember that Ward La France Pumper 11. That was one loud truck with it's unmuffled Detroit Diesel and Jake Brake. I knew a guy named Cambell who worked on the truck at that time. Great hearing from you!
Really like their motto on the rigs. Another great video Mike! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching
Wow! The stories inside those walls. Thanks for doing this Mike!
Our pleasure. Thanks for watching
I like that you are showcasing Denver Fire Dept because all the love goes to South Metro. DFD needs love too haha
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.
Thanks for the information!
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.
You can send email to watchheroesnextdoor@gmail.com. I personally answer that account daily
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.
Great video as always. I like those old stations, how well kept they are. Thanks for the great work, and greetings from Costa Rica
Thanks for watching
@@HeroesNextDoor wildland firefighting for me
They look so thrilled to have you there
They were great. They did not know we were coming initial but they were more than happy to guide us through. They stayed in service. They was only a small miscommunication between the PIO and them. ALL GOOD. We enjoyed it and thanks for helping
Pride and Ownership at its best.
I like the look of the church on the map at the beginning
Lovely video, shared to my fb group 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒
Thank you for the support!!
@@HeroesNextDoor No problem mate 🧑🏻👍🏻
Y'all should come over to Jacksonville FL soon
Would be interesting to get audio tests with lights kicking on including the bed/bunk room. Would have been neat looking at the historic bunkroom of E-11/R-1 when they get a call.
Extra treat of getting that Q action
You could make a curiosity top.
The smallest Firehouses
The biggest Firehouses
The oldest still in service apparatus
The most modern apparatus
So on
Hi just a quick question what made you start this channel and do what you do thats it keep up the good work man luv the video's
28yrs in the service and noticing the trend of people not knowing or wanting to be in public services
We would like you to tour the City of Negaunee MI fire station. It was built in the 1800s for horses and is still in use today.
Send invites to watchheroesnextdoor@gmail
Include location contacts and a brief description of the station and apparatus
An email has been sent. Thank you.
@@kellykurin426 received. Your station sounds awesome. We now have two stations in the UP so we will continue to work on a schedule to come see you. This year is booked but we will see about 2023. Thank you so much for reaching out and watching the channel. We will be in touch soon.
Ok
❤️❤️❤️❤️
South port nc has a great station
Send that invite
Mind doing a station rig on the rescue truck, it looks great!
Done. Subscribe and click notifications so you don’t miss it
@@HeroesNextDoor Sure did! Thanks!
Please tell me after Denver you are going to South Metro!
Not yet. They need to send us the invite and then we can make that happen
Great video think you’ll visit a firehouse in NYC?
One day. We could use those invites though.
Try to go to south metro and meet up with the pio’s and maybe do a collab with there channel
Vintage Pepsi machine nice
If your still in Colorado you should go the New Mexico and visit Philmont's fire station #1 they have a doom buggy for a fire truck I would love to see that station
GREAT video HND! Any chance of trying an FDNY house at some point?
We need those invites. We would love to
@@HeroesNextDoor want me to ask some guys I know on the job?
@@JH-cw5po yeah that’s the only way we go places is by invite. We don’t cold call any longer.
1:18 OOO Ward Lafrance!!
please come to chatham borough new jersey fire deparment
Send us the invite and we most definitely can schedule that
it will really great if you on San francisco fire company using wood ladder
And I think ( LA) Fire uses WOOD Ladders also. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, if they know. LA had all WOODEN Ladders.
Would you ever go to to South Metro Fire Rescue CO?
Once we get the invite
I noticed during the tour that there 3” was rolled with the male end facing out. Firefighter Sean did say that’s part of their supply line. But usually it’s female rolled out. I’ve been a firefighter for 34 years in Toronto and we’ve never rolled it that way especially when the female end connects to the hydrant. Wonder why?
The tape that was on it said, "do not use", hose rolled with the male end out indicates it's out of service in the states.
@@jwh525 well ok then good to know. I knew the bottom of the hose rack was out of service but not the one that I had mentioned. We usually tag and place out of service and replaced asap. Thanks for clarifying
OTR Railroad, here in my area we are taught to roll the male couplings in to protect the exposed threads. Other than that it doesn’t matter much since we unroll the hose before loading.
Ease of repacking. No matter how many folds you use on a fire, the supply hose left in the bed--if any--will always have an open female at the working end. When you get back to the house (or hall, in Canadian parlance), grab a roll off the rack, thread the exposed male connector to its female counterpart in the bed, stack, then rinse and repeat until you're ready to go back in service.
Female threads out means hose is out of service.
Collab with South Metro!!!
Maybe one day. They just need to send an invite.
Will you be doing Aurora Co?
No not on this trip but If you have contacts and want to send an invite we will schedule another trip as needed
please tell me your gonna meet with the PIOs at south metro
We did not this trip but if you know him and her we would love to collaborate on another trip
have you ever done FDNY station cribs
That's a great idea they have stations up the ying yang in every part of the city.
We just need the invite to get those done
You said they got those rigs on the road and a couple of minutes like that's really fast 1976 or 1977 my dad and another fireman had two rigs on the road and route to a house fire and 45 seconds that's still a state record in the state of Michigan. They did it as members of the Plainfield township volunteer fire department
Can you do more station rigs
More are coming. Make sure to subscribe and click notifications
I did
Is the term alarm just an equipment list for apparatus? Can you explain the difference between a 2nd alarm and a third alarm? also is A the front b the left side and c the rear and d the right side of a structure? Does the fire truck hook up to the hydrant to fill the truck tank while pumping the water out? that's alot of pressure. Thank you for sharing your videos. I'm always learning new things every day
yes the term alarm is a unit list that will bring a certain amount of units to the call might be 4 engines and 2 ladders and a resuce and chief and when the call is put in for a higher alarm might be 4 extra engines 2 trucks 1 resuce and more chiefs for each alarm
An example of how alarms work here in my city 1st alarm holds the first due engine and truck second alarm brings out our second pumper and a truck from a department near by as well as another engine from a different department 3rd alarm will call 2 engine a truck and another engine and truck company from 2 other cities
Why does the fire hose need to be clean?
There are so many reasons.
@@HeroesNextDoor is it possible you can explain or point me to a good reliable resource or some thing that explains those reasons?
@BlinkOnWheels a few of the reasons are because clean hoses last longer. Hoses get drug through debris, mud, and other contaminants like broken glass, gravel, ect. It's also important that are inspected for damage. Hoses if not dried properly will also "rot" from mold and mildew if they are of the canvas covered variety. It's also good housekeeping as no one wants to pull dirty hoses out at a fire. They may literally have to drag a hose through a building to get the room with the fire. A dirty hose could ruin flooring, damage paint and drywall ect.
Can you go to Denver fire department Station 26
Maybe next trip. What does that station have ?
The only thing I can think of is a engine and a ladder truck
can you do an English fire station
we need that invite to make a trip
First
can you go to south metro fire
It would be awesome to see a station cribs with south metro find the best station and interview people who are in the firehouse
We need that invite first but we would love to get that done
Why dose the hoses have do not use but still there? Seems like wasted space.
Training and use for other things especially for rope rescue
Why does denvor hostocial fire house 11 has 3 truck bays but only 2 firetrucks?
They had one out for service. Plus the station one is not to far away
Why there truck there white is that state law ?
Nope just colored to their liking.
@@HeroesNextDoor thanks for answers and continue your nice content
