Just before 14:00 on October 19th, 2026 Aurora Fire Rescue responded to a possible structure in the 17700 block of E. Mexico Drive when a neighbor called Aurora 911 after seeing flames and black smoke coming from the back of a home. While responding, Engine 9 and Ladder 9 observed smoke in the area and upgraded the incident to a working structure fire. Upon arrival, smoke was visible from the rear of the structure. Firefighters entered the bi-level home with a hose line and conducted searches. Flames on the exterior, interior and in the attic were quickly extinguished. The incident was brought under control just 13 minutes after the initial 911 call. Two adults, two children, three dogs and one cat were displaced and are receiving assistance from the American Red Cross. No injuries occurred and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
