Introducing the Ken Freiberg Fire Museum at the Carl Nelson Fire Station!
Named in honor of the first volunteer fire chief, Ken Freiberg, and the first paid fire chief, Carl Nelson, the Carl Nelson Fire Station on Dorothy Boulevard is beginning a new chapter. Also known as "The Pit," Thornton's first official fire station has a rich history as a cornerstone of the early Thornton community. This beloved station will now serve the community as a museum to honor and share the experiences, accomplishments, and legacies of the Thornton Fire Department.
Stay tuned for updates, and get ready to experience Thornton's history like never before!
