Station 13

In 1891 Station 13 began as the all-volunteer Vaughn Hose Company that protected the Town of South Denver at 600 S. Broadway. The original fire station was demolished in 1895 due to complaints about it’s the shabby appearance by the neighbors, the lot was reborn as Platte Park. In 1892 a much nicer brick and stone station was built, and currently still stands on the southeast corner of Broadway & Center. This station was dubbed the Russell Hose House and was marked with S.D.F.D. for the South Denver Fire Department. In 1894 the City of Denver annexed the area and took over fire protection with Engine 13.
