I am a fire buff. I will be visiting Parker, CO on 11/28-11/29/17. What fire radio systems can I receive while I am there? I am also looking for fire station locations and information on rigs they may have.
thank you.

I might be completely clueless! =)
Almost everything in and around Parker will be using State of Colorado DTRS for their primary means of communication, only exception being Aurora to the north. We have quite a bit of monitoring information in the Douglas County (CO) and Arapahoe County (CO) (slightly more updated) wiki articles.
Besides the above wiki articles, many departments have station locations on their website. Parker and a good portion of the surrounding area is covered by South Metro Fire Rescue. Here is their Coverage Map and their Fire Station locations.
As an aside, South Metro can also be found on PulsePoint if you want to see what calls they are running.
5280Fire has a lot of great photos and apparatus information for the area.
You will need to monitor the State DTR system to monitor Parker PD and South Metro Fire (Metcom) https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=329
I would recommend monitoring these Control Channels:
064 Chevron
007 Smoky Hill
052 Douglas Co North Simulcast
South Metro FD Talk Groups can be found in the link above.

Thank you for your help. I think I will be listening to South Metro and Denver Fire. I plan to visit the Denver Fire Museum. What sites should I monitor for these areas? I see there are 224 sites in the Colorado System. Will Chevron Plaza Tower, Smoky Hill and Douglas Co North include Denver Fire?
Denver FD is not on the State DTR system. You can find their info here: Denver Public Safety Trunking System, Denver, Colorado - Scanner Frequencies
