As a native Coloradan, Earnie Doane was born in Brighton, Colorado, in 1921, and he and his family moved to Arvada shortly after his birth. He attended the Fremont School in Arvada, and graduated in 1940 from Arvada High School.
World War II was in the offing, and Earnie enlisted into the US Army. He became a tank driver with the Army's 3rd Division that was known as the Tank Destroyers. He served in the European Theater of Operations and was involved in the landing in southern France. He was discharged at war's end with the rank of Tech 4, Sergeant.
Earnie married Goldie in October, 1947, and they had four children - Gary, who lives in nearby Westminster and is now a retired Westminster fire fighter. Ronda is married and now lives in Aurora, while Tim was an Arvada firefighter and is now retired from the Arvada department. Son Jack rounds out the family of firefighters, having retired from the Arvada department just this past summer. The Doane family is noted for its firefighters, starting with Earnie's father, Ed, who was Chief of the Arvada Fire Department for several years. Goldie passed on in 1991 after 44 happily married years.
Earnie's main line of work was with the Public Service Company of Colorado. He was involved in electric line construction and was to become a foreman for 12 years with the company. After 30 years with them, Earnie retired in 1983.
Earnie joined the Arvada Fire Department in 1953, and served at Station One. He was a member of the Grievance and Conduct Committee, among others during his tenure, and was also captain of his station. He retired from the Department in 1973 with 20 years of service. He recalls his most impressive fire situation as the "Metz Fire", when he was first on the scene with Chief Fritz Sedlmayr.
He now has time to do the things he likes to do, such as playing golf and traveling around the country in his motor home. He also spends some of his time at his favorite place at Lake Havasu. The rest of the time, he just "takes care of the old place" and relaxes, sometimes a hard thing for such an energetic man to do.
