- Residents in Highlands Ranch have new neighbors! At 8:00 a.m. on Friday, March 12, 2021, South Metro Fire Rescue held a brief dedication ceremony to commemorate the opening of Fire Station 20, located at 1801 E. Wildcat Reserve Parkway. The 8,830 square foot firehouse features 6 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a fitness room, living room, kitchen, cleaning and decontamination rooms, a firefighter protective gear contamination extractor, large equipment storage spaces including a 1,030 square foot mezzanine and 3 apparatus bays.
Station 20 is currently home to a crew of 3 or 4 Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technicians who staff a fire engine and a wildland firefighting brush truck. The facility was built to accommodate a Medic unit and 6 total personnel in the future as call volume increases. Medic units at neighboring Station 17 and Station 18 will continue to provide advanced life support to the surrounding area.

Y’all need a award for one of the nicest stations I’ve seen.
Absolutely
@Phillip Stafford I love the design, it really looks like a ranch and a home then a fire station. I would feel very comfortable staying there for 48 hours no problem.
Don’t judge me I think station 32 is better
@@3catfirephotography374 no hate! I think South Metro really takes pride in providing the best for their employees. It’s apparent that they actually care about them.
@@Rocky12323 totally agreed
You are very lucky that taxpayers will spend the money on that station and you deserve every inch of it. Stay safe brothers.
I would think it's more that the city government is actually making good use of taxpayer funds. That said, idk why ANY taxpayer would be against another fire station.
Bother and sister
@@0zzyninja Especially when they chose the perfect, dead center spot between 17 & 18. It just makes sense to have one there to reduce response time to the areas they talked about (Hearth, Firelight/Poston that 17 covered, Backcountry that 18 covered).
When the various merges happened a few years ago, the tax rate for fire protection went up to the rate the rest of SMFR's district was paying. Among the many reasons to consolidate, they were talking about the plans for building Station 20. Anyway, this is them delivering on that promise. Definitely a win for the community.
@@0zzyninja happens all the time , neighbors especially in Well to DO areas In Some instances the public will openly contest against certain aspects of fire protection. Some of which make no sense .. You can Find this out easily with research. This video shows an example of it with the fire call at the end. Notice how the truck is turned off. Its indicative of some factors in that particular area, especially how words seem to be chosen by the Officer of the truck, and throughout this video.
@@culbyj3665 they would rather change genders and scream about that than support public safety.. our society is lost.
The station is stunning! Would 100% love to see an updated tour as a station Saturday in a year or so and see how it’s been made a home!
Totally!
Yes! At my local dept, we opened a station in 2018 and are still getting more gear! 😂
@Baylee Linley it goes back to the days when it was horse and wagon
@Baylee Linley it’s old tradition, they originally did it with the horse drawn wagons. In my area when a new station opens now they do it to show that the men and women of the station are still ‘strong and fit’ - qualities you’d want when it comes to getting dragged out of a burning building.
Yes In my town a month ago they opened fire station 20
It's a really big station for only four men! Amazing how many space is left for future.
more than four
@@niceguygesnone1 read the description my guy 😂
I’d even call it opulent. FDNY houses typically have a dozen guys on a shift and they’re 1/3 of the square footage. Individual bedrooms? Ha!
Generally common for larger non urban departments. This one being brand new is super nice!
@@Larmes97 3/4 on engine and brush, they said. You read the description, “my guy”
My Dad would have died to work out of a station like this. He served 30 years with the Greensboro Fire Department in Greensboro NC. He obtained the rank of Assistant Fire Chief when he retired in 1979 due to a medical condition. I spent some time in the old Central Station downtown. The new Central Station is a few miles from the old Central Station. There is a fire training facility housed within the complex. Thank you gentlemen for your service in a tough job with a lot of satisfaction!!
Aye, Greensboro represent. My hometown!
@@mrairsoftawesoem heyyyy greensboro gamg
watch station in Poland :D
That fire house looks really cool
I know right
I haven't said this before but. I admire that you guys as a municipal service put so much effort into your public relations, I wish more departments were like this. Showcasing not only the day-to-day but the people who work within your department and more all without the monetary incentive to create drama like television shows. Keep up the good work, I wish more companies and municipalities were like you in this regard.
Y’all are blessed to have new equipment, I volunteer for a fire department in Alabama, we only have A 1984 Chevy suburban rescue truck for the whole county!!
Thank you for including my video of engine 20!
BLESS THIS HOUSE,AND ALL WHO SERVE IN HER !😎
I am a Volunteer Firefighter in Portugal, I have been following your youtube page for a few years now. I hope that everything goes well in this new station and that everyone will be very successful in the new occurrences that they will have. A big hug and BE SAFE ALL
Nice Station. I miss being in the Engine running calls. Was many great years and never a dull day. Was FF, Medic. Water Rescue, Mountain Rescue Tec and Captain when i retired. Enjoy the new Station and stay safe
The architecture is actually beautiful! I've never been to the US, but having a fire station that is actually architectural and designed with looks in mind blows me away!
What an awesome tradition in pushing the rigs into the station.
You guys deserve this firehouse because of all the hard work and dedication you do to the community. Please stay safe brothers.
Beautiful station! Definitely not a carboard cutout. It's strange to think that this station will probably still be in operation in the year 2071. Crews that will one day work out of this station haven't even been born yet.
That’s a beautiful station the interior designer did an amazing job, it looks so clean
Obviously a ton of logistics and decision making go in to the design, build and finish a station. maybe a behind the scenes look your unscripted episode with your Fleet Captain with your fleet and engine builds. Strong work!
Finally a day in the life!!!!
If look farther down their videos their is a few day in the life of a firefighter, battalion chief, and more
I saw them ;) I just can’t wait for more!
always happy to see brothers and sisters get a new place or engine/truck !
Very thankful that I am just down the road from this station!
I lived in the Denver area for years. I hope you serve other communities beside just Highland Ranch. Highland Ranch and Cherry Creak North are a bunch of spoiled brats. At least when I lived there. God Bless you guys for what you do.
God Bless ALL FIREFIGHTERS!!! Drastically under appreciated AND UNDER PAID!!
Very nice. Those garage doors are smooooooth. Very cool to see what a modern firehouse looks like. Thank you for everything that you do!
It's a testament t to the manufacturer. Each side can get over 2000 lbs with glass and whatnot. All that weight on 3 pivots and no issues.
Y’all need a award for one of the nicest stations I’ve seen.. Y’all need a award for one of the nicest stations I’ve seen..
Full time Lieutenant: We only use siren and horn when needed
Volunteers : haha Q2B goes WEEEEEEEEEEE
Ive seen a Fulltime guy at a closed stadium use full lights and sirens on the Golf cart to go down the straight away when they were just being the vehicle for a panic attack. (im volunteer so gave him shit about it)
Kentland: goes out the door like it was a nascar and a screaming q
Been super excited for a while to see the new station open. Super thrilled it's finally open and love how well it looks
Station 20 looks great, hope all of you stay safe always!
The true hero's of our community that are often overlooked until they are desperately needed for an emergency! Thanks so much for all you do, it doesn't go unnoticed. 😁
I wish my station had its own bunk rooms instead of just an open bay. I’m in a pretty large department with 54 stations.
I love the look of your fire station. It looks just like any farm house or barn in the area. It's a huge complement to it's natural surroundings. I wish you and your new fire station many happy years of existance.
Omg I didn't realise this was yesterday. Thanks for all your service
You are so blessed to have such a wonderful updated station, equipment, apparatus and personal like this! Awesome grants or ability to aquire the massive amount of money to build, utilize and support your new firehouse! God bless!
Beautiful station! Here’s hoping you guys rarely need to leave it. Bless you all for your service. It means more than you know.
Love the tradition and pride! Proud of you Ron Ron
Lets do more "A Day in the Life" with stations
Congratulations on your new station. Enjoy you time there and on the job. It will go by quickly! Stay safe.
Beautiful! Congratulations on the new quarters.
Beautiful station! Love the RCA design of the truck bays.
Thank you for your service and community too
This house looks amazing! So far
Congratulations 👏🎉 on your new Firehouse in Colorado. This tour was absolutely incredible. Thank you so very much for your service to our Country. I pray 🙏 that God will always bless you and keep you all safe and healthy where ever you go
Отлично! Надо больше таких познавательных фильмов
So glad you had actual bagpipes and snares! That was an awesome opening ceremony!
You guys are popping off with vids and I love it!
@@landonpalmer7662 How is the explorer program going?
Absolutely beautiful station!
That is an awesome looking station, Fire Station 20. the only thing lacking is the rest of your supplies and misc. equipment. I am sure this new fire house will serve you all and the High Lands Ranch area very well. Great tour of the facility. It's always nice to be the first to enjoy something new like this. Great video coverage as well.
Amazing station, congratulations, well deserved!
This is phenomenal, congratulations!!
What a beautiful station I am so pleased for you all.This was a very well done video and the tour was most interesting thanks guys and my best to you all.
They should be on station Saturday to see the final set up
LOVE IT.
JUST LOVE IT!!!!!!!
Great video.
Welcome to your new home.
Much love and respect to firstresponders.

I loved the walk through tour, thank you.
That was really interesting! I wish more Public Services would do this, your tax dollars at work kind of thing.
It was also great of the Lt. to say if you see the doors open and the trucks outside, come on in.
When my son was much younger and we lived near a fire station, every Christmas we would make a chocolate cake and take it down to them.
He still remembers that.
God bless you guys and gals and good luck!!
Rod Fair, former Batallion Chief on a cruise liner. Different kind of firefighting altogether.
Wow! What a gorgeous new station!!
proud for you guys. such an awesome fire station
Gorgeous station. Congratulations
THIS IS RESPECT TO OUR COUNTRY AND FELLOW FIRE FIGHTERS,EXCELLENT JOB
Wow. I Have passed by it so many time's. It look's amazing.
One of the nicest and largest stations I have ever seen!
Hello everyone together, I just saw your video about the reopening of the fire station 20. I am really impressed how good and beautiful your guard has become, congratulations on the reopening. I wish all of you a good and safe hand in all your efforts, whether in the event of a fire or an accident. May God accompany your missions well and safely and bring you safely back home. Greetings from Wennigsen in Lower Saxony Germany
You guts deserve it! Congrats from the West Metro Area!
Absolutely beautiful station, definitely love the bi-fold doors!
Not the easiest to install but they last a long time and open/close very fast.
Love seeing that Pierce emblem knowing that beauty was built in my town here in Appleton
Congratulations for the new fire station ... Best regards from Germany
Congratulations on the new station
Nice Station. Very spacious and well laid out. Be safe
Beautiful firehouse!! Congratulations
Thank you for your service to the public Gentlemen.
love the videos and thank you for what you do.
Love the tradition. 💕
Very nice station house. First class all the way. Thanks for posting.
Just joined station 1 at Estes Valley Fire department! Stay safe out there!
I love this channel, thank you for all the awesome content!!
Nice station! Stations are definitely nicer than when I entered the fire service 35 or so years ago. My favorite is the bay doors. Those are awesome!!!!I wonder if they are more expensive to repair when they get hit by a truck. And you can be assured it will happen some day. Not being negative but rather speaking from experience. And to those who commented on this being a big station for one rig you can rest assured that there will be rigs there in the future as the area expands. Its important to build for future expansion and glad to se that it is being done. I remember when that area had nothing but a few small farms and ranches and far from any city like infrastructure. I was born and raised in the Denver area so have seen huge changes and there are more to come. It almost makes me wish I was still working.
Six bedrooms only. Maybe a medic but doubtful on a Truck Company. Those bifold doors are great.
Bifold doors are extremely unlikely to be hit because of how quickly they move out of way. Can’t drive out and clip light bars or such. Annual maintenance costs are very minimal compared to roll ups. Initial cost is quite high but offset by much longer life.
An amazing station!
Congratulations guys on a great new station awesome job and please stay safe and God bless
U
Wow and what a beautiful station hope to work at this station in the future when I move from Florida up to Denver in a few years.
Very nice station they got there.
Even when i would have build a drive-through station so that they dont have to back up the trucks into the station but that's only a small detail.
And its always a nice feeling when you have a new fire station just in case when you need it.
Is that the same guy from the Station 35 unscripted episode?
What a beautiful fire station 👍🏻
That is an amazing station.
What a great looking station, hi from New Zealand
Lol Lt reaction when they asked about coffee..........don’t mess with a fireman’s coffee hahaha
A lot of awesome history with that push back
We have the bi-fold doors in our new station, love them, much faster and safer. Beautiful station enjoy!
The bay doors are awesome!
Beautiful station
Love the day in the life videos
I toured a fire station in Indiana two years ago. It was a good experience for me to compare fire stations in my home country, Japan, with those in the United States.
Thats a beauty of a fire truck
MORE OF THIS STATION PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
I love this stuff keep it going more of it God bless the fire fighters thanks Jeremy
Very beautiful stations.
Incredibly gorgeous fire station...the BBQ area looking out at the mountains...wow!...Enjoy...firefighters deserve the best...kudos to the city..0
Very nice fire station. I love the doors for the fire trucks.
It’s The Chauffeur’s old school 3/4 boots that I’m diggin! Hope they legitimately allow that! Safety is key, but tradition is still important! Beautiful Station! Glad to see growth and progress!💪🏾🔥
Awesome new station!
Obviously a very RICH city! I love the brand new reserve apparatus.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Man that’s awesome I hope you guys keep that. My department gets $120 million a year for a city of 600k and about 90k calls annually. a lot of us are taking 5k + runs a year. You guys are a great example of what a well run department can look like with proper funding.
Congratz from Norwegian firefighter!
