Aurora, located in the Fox River Valley of northeastern Illinois, is not in a designated wildfire hazard zone or wildland-urban interface area. Illinois does not have the wildfire risk zoning systems used in western states like California. Standard fire prevention codes apply citywide through the Aurora Fire Department. During extended drought periods, the city may enact temporary burn restrictions through fire restriction stages. Vegetation management through the weed and grass abatement program helps reduce fire risk in overgrown areas.
