The Aurora Rural Fire Association was established in 1950. The Aurora Rural Fire Protection District was established by a vote of the people in April 2013.
WHO WE SERVE
The Aurora Fire District was organized in 1948 and serves an area of 36 square miles in both Marion and Clackamas Counties. We serve approximately 6,500 permanent residents with an assortment of different businesses, schools, airports and major highways & railways.
Aurora protects the cities of Aurora and Donald, other surrounding communities and rural farm lands. The citizens within the Aurora Fire District enjoy one of the lowest tax rates in our region. AFD receives almost its entire funding from property taxes. This funding comes through a permanent tax rate and temporary funding from a local option levy.
STAFFING
Aurora Fire District is governed by an elected five-member Board of Directors and managed by professional staff. We have nine employees, including a full-time Administrative Assistant. We also have six resident volunteers who help when they are not in school. We also utilize volunteers who either respond from home or sign up to work a shift.
