The Naperville Fire Department (NFD) provides fire suppression and emergency medical services to the city of Naperville, Illinois, the fifth largest city in the state. The department is responsible for an area of 39.32 square miles (101.8 km2) consisting of 141,853 residents as of the 2010 census.[2] The Majority of sworn personnel are cross trained as Firefighters and Paramedics.[3] The 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.[4] In 1883, Naperville’s first station was constructed on West Jefferson Street downtown. The main station remained downtown until 1992, when the Fire Administration Building was constructed at the Public Safety complex on Aurora Avenue.[4]
