Englewood Fire Department, circa 1950 

Englewood, Colorado, disbanded its century-old fire department on June 1, 2015 and Denver took over on a contract basis.

The Denver Fire Department consolidated units, establishing Engine 37 and Truck 38 and adding 40 Englewood firefighters to its ranks. It also closed one of Englewood's three fire houses.

Denver Health assumed responsibility for EMS. 

The Denver Fire Department also provides coverage for the communities of Sheridan on a contract basis.
