Idaho Springs Fire Department, old Central Hose House




Idaho Springs Fire Department, old Central Hose Hose, 1340 Miner Street, Idaho Springs, Colorado. Organized in 1878, the volunteer fire department in Idaho Springs built the original Central Hose House. That was replaced by this building in 1912. The ISVFD reorganized in 1920 consolidating the volunteer houses. In 1989 they signed an agreement with the Clear Creek Emergency Services District and in 1998 they became a part of the Clear Creek Fire Authority. Central Station was moved to the renovated King Hotel across the street in 1960 and again to it's current house east on Colorado Boulevard. This old Hose House was restored by the Historical Society as a museum in 2010.
