The Naperville Fire Department (NFD) is the principal fire suppression, prevention, and rescue agency of Naperville, Illinois, under the jurisdiction of the Mayor of Naperville. It is the 3rd largest fire department in the State of Illinois. The Majority of sworn personnel are cross trained as Firefighters and Paramedics. The Naperville Fire Department was founded and chartered by the City of Naperville and State of Illinois in 1874 after two major fires occurred in the downtown area.

In 1883, Naperville’s first central fire station was constructed on West Jefferson Street in downtown Naperville.

The main station remained in the downtown area until 1992, at which time the Fire Administration Building was constructed at the Public Safety complex on Aurora Avenue.
