Station 2 Open House

The West Metro Fire Rescue held an open house at Station 2, 1545 Robb St. in Lakewood on August 1st, 2026. The community came out to tour the station, meet up with the firefighters and ask questions and have their photos taken with some of the apparatus. Visitors got an unexpected treat, as crews raised Tower 2 to full extension. Snacks and drinks were also supplied. Station 2 was  built in 1992 and is on the former site of the Lakewood-Mountair Fire Department (Colorado) Station 2 and Lakewood Fire Department (Colorado) Station 2. The WMFR open houses also help to show how much the coasts are for the department from the turnout gear and SCBA to radios, helmets, tools, and all the other equipment they rely on every day including training, outfitting a single West Metro firefighter costs nearly $50,000. It’s one of the biggest behind-the-scenes investments they make-before a firefighter ever responds to a single call. Like everything else, the cost of this lifesaving equipment continues to rise. Making sure WMFR firefighters have the tools they need to protect you is becoming more expensive every year. Learn more about West Metro’s critical funding needs: West Metro Critical Funding Needs.
