I rode along with one of the busiest truck companies in the United States to see what a 24hour shift is like. Denver, Colorado Truck 4 is stationed in "LoDo" (Lower Downtown) where their first due area includes numerous high rise buildings, Coors Field, a sprawling entertainment district, multifamily apartments, single family dwellings and sadly, a large population of people experiencing homelessness.

In 2021 Truck 4 topped the Firehouse National Run Survey after responding to 7,540 incidents! In 2022 Truck 4 responded to 5,459 incidents thanks to the BLS fast response unit (Med 1) taking all firstout low acuity EMS calls in Downtown Denver. During 2022 Med 1 responded to 5,462 incidents.

Thank you to the Denver Fire Department and the personnel at Firehouse 4 for welcoming me in and allowing me to tell this story!
