Buckley Space Force Base Fire Emergency Services

== Area Served ==
Buckley Space Force Base, formerly Lowry Auxiliary Field, Buckley Field, NAS Denver, Buckley ANGB and Buckley AFB, is a United States Space Force facility in the city of Aurora, Arapahoe County, Colorado on the doorstep of the Rocky Mountains. The base is named in honor of United States Army Air Service First Lieutenant John Harold Buckley (July 8, 1895 - September 27, 1918). Buckley, a native of Longmont, Colorado, lost his life while serving with the 28th Aero Squadron over Lisle-en-Barrois, Departement de la Meuse, Lorraine, France in an air-to-air collision with another pilot from his squadron while forming up to cross enemy lines on a combat mission during the Meuse–Argonne offensive. The host unit at Buckley SFB is the Buckley Garrison Command (B GAR), known previously as the 460th Space Wing, which supports its six major base partners: the US Space Force's Space Delta 4 (which flies the Defense Support Program and the Space-Based Infrared System constellations from Buckley SFB, as well as commands the Space Force's missile warning forces), the Colorado Air National Guard's (COANG) 140th Wing; the Denver Naval Operational Support Center; the National Reconnaissance Office's Aerospace Data Facility-Colorado; the USAF Air Reserve Personnel Center; and the US Army Aviation Support Facility. 
== Department Profile ==
Aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF), structure firefighting, emergency medical services, technical rescue, fire prevention and inspection for Buckley SFB is provided by the 460th Civil Engineer Squadron / Buckley SFB Fire And Emergency Services, a subordinate unit of the 460th Mission Support Group, comprised of a mix of civilian and military firefighters. 
== History ==
Buckley was established in 1938 by the United States Army Air Corps as Demolition Bombing Range–Lowry Auxiliary Field, before being renamed Buckley Field on June 14, 1941, serving as a technical school for fighter aircraft armorers, arctic survival students, and basic trainees. In December 1946, the Colorado Air National Guard began to set up operations at Buckley. In 1947, it became Naval Air Station Denver, serving as a reserve air station for the US Navy for thirteen years while the air national guard continued its operations at the base. On April 18, 1960, NAS Denver was turned over to the Department of the Air Force, becoming Buckley Air National Guard Base, the first stand-alone Air National Guard base in the United States Air Force, while the United States Navy continued to maintain a Naval Air Reserve Center at the base. In the spring of 1969, the United States Air Force began development on the Defense Support Program ground station, beginning Buckley's space history. On October 1, 2000, the Department of the Air Force renamed the base to Buckley Air Force Base and assigned it to Air Force Space Command. Following the establishment of the United States Space Force, Buckley Air Force Base's administration transferred from Air Force Space Command to the new service and on June 4, 2021 Buckley Air Force Base was renamed Buckley Space Force Base.
