The other guesses are pretty much right on. Tower 1 does say "Heavy Rescue Tower" on the side with "Rescue" on the back door. Each of Denver's Battalions has one HRT which responds to assist with Tech Rescue duties. DFD runs one Rescue Company citywide so the HRT's take some of the call load off of the Rescue in the outlaying areas were simple extrications are needed. The newer aerials aren't labeled as HRT's anymore but they serve the same function.
Tower 1 & Engine 1 have added duty as they respond to every tech & water rescue assignment across the city.
District 2 - Tower 1
District 3 - Tower 22
District 4 - Truck 15
District 5 - Tower 27
District 6 - Tower 9
District 7 - Tower 23
Airport - Truck 31
