Historic Pueblo

HOSE COMPANY NUMBER 3

Fire station #3, built three years after establishment of the fire department, was the first stand-alone fire station in Pueblo. It was designed to house horses and horse-drawn hose apparatus, which were common equipment at the time. Hose Company No. 3 is one of the only stations left standing in Southern Colorado that housed this type of apparatus. It served its purpose longer than any other fire station in the City of Pueblo’s history.  Designated 7-24-06
