The Aurora Fire Department serves the City of Aurora, an area covering 25 square miles and home to approximately 16,000 residents. We respond approximately 2,000 times a year to provide emergency medical services, fire suppression, smoke / carbon monoxide alarm investigations, and public assistance. Some of our other daily activities include fire-prevention inspections and teaching fire safety, CPR, and first aid. Additionally, our staff trains daily sharpening their skills and keeping current with the latest advancements in EMS and firefighting.
