It's
with great sadness that we announce the loss of
a great member of the fire department -- Denver.
Last night around 20:00 hours, Denver passed on
with members on hand to comfort him after months
of his health decreasing and old age catching him.
Denver was a one-of-a-kind mascot and will be greatly
missed by all members of the department. Rest in
Peace, Denver!
