Sugar Grove Fire Protection District

What Sugar Grove Fire Protection District does

Sugar Grove Fire Protection District is a special purpose government entity organized under Illinois state law that provides fire suppression, emergency medical services, hazardous conditions response, aircraft emergency response, and rescue operations to residents and visitors within its defined boundaries in Kane County, Illinois. The district operates from a single station at 25 S. Municipal Drive, Sugar Grove, IL, and is led by Fire Chief Brendan Moran. It maintains a Class 3/3Y Insurance Service Office (ISO) fire protection rating and operates a defined fleet including Engine 901, Engine 902, Ambulance 951, Ambulance 952, Brush 941, and command vehicles.

The revenue model relies on two streams: property tax levies on district residents and ambulance transport billing (the latter outsourced to Paramedic Billing Services effective December 1, 2025). The district is governed by a Board of Trustees and Board of Fire Commissioners and is not a traditional corporate entity. Beyond core emergency response, it operates a portfolio of public education and community safety services including AHA-certified CPR/AED/First Aid training (delivered via a partnership with Waubonsee Community College), the Safe Sitter youth program, child safety seat inspections, the File of Life medical information program, and medication/sharps disposal in coordination with the Sugar Grove Police Department, Fox Metro Water Reclamation District, and Kane County Recycles.

The district also runs a Cadet Program for ages 14-20 as a workforce development pipeline and uses the Nixle Community Notification System for real-time public alerts. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range. As a government entity with a territorial monopoly over fire and EMS in its jurisdiction, the district faces no direct commercial competition, but its growth and revenue are constrained to the property tax base and call volume within its defined service area.
