Fire Stations

Golden Gate Canyon, nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains just west of Denver, has a rich history of natural beauty and community development, shaped by the landscape and the people who have lived there. The canyon, once home to mining pioneers in the 19th century, has since evolved into a peaceful retreat for those who appreciate its outdoor recreation and stunning vistas. This area has several parks, including Centennial Cone Open Space, White Ranch Park, Golden Gate Canyon State Park, and Mt. Galbraith Park.

Amidst this breathtaking environment, the Golden Gate Fire Protection District was formed to ensure the safety of the community, a vital service in a region where steep terrain and dense forests present unique challenges for emergency responders. The district operates out of three fire stations with a team of volunteer firefighters and medical personnel.

Station 81, located near Centennial Cone Open Space, primarily serves the western edge of the district. Station 82, situated near White Ranch Park and Golden Gate Canyon State Park, provides coverage for the eastern and central parts of the canyon.  Station 83 is positioned toward the base of the canyon closest to Mt. Galbraith Park and the city of Golden.  Together, these three strategically placed fire stations form the backbone of the Golden Gate Fire Protection District, ensuring the safety and well-being of both the residents and visitors of Golden Gate Canyon.
