Aurora Fire Rescue celebrated the grand opening during the ribbon cutting ceremony of the new Station 9 at 17200 E. Mexico Ave. on March 7th, 2026. The event featured a dedication ceremony with a blessing, remarks by various dignitaries, a fire hose uncoupling, ceremonial posting of the first colors of the flag pole, a dedication of the new public art addition on display in front of the station, ribbon cutting, station tours and cake. The public was able to meet with Aurora firefighters and checked out both new and historic fire apparatus. The original 1979 fire station was demolished in March of 2025. The two-story, 12,000-square-foot new station features 11 dorm rooms, eight bathrooms, a fitness room, a double-length three-bay apparatus bay, and an open floor plan combining a kitchen, dining area and a day room.
