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.
