Community Risk Reduction Division

The Community Risk Reduction Division is committed to protecting life and property from fire through life safety inspections, code enforcement, education, investigation and statistical fire reports. The CRR Manager oversees many areas including the Fire Prevention Bureau, the Fire Investigation Team, and the Juvenile Firesetters Intervention Team.

Fire Prevention Bureau

The Fire Prevention Bureau inspects all commercial and multi-family occupancies at least once annually and conducts site plan reviews of new developments, plan reviews of fire alarms and suppression systems, acceptance tests and inspections of these systems, and follows up on non-compliant inspections and public complaints.

Fire Investigation Team

The Naperville Fire Investigation Team determines the origin and cause of significant fires of questionable origin. The team is comprised of members of the Naperville Fire Department, who primarily examine and process the fire scene, and the Naperville Police Department, who primarily conduct the interviews, interrogations and follow-up investigative work.

If you have information about a fire that has occurred in Naperville, please contact

Juvenile Firesetter Intervention Program

The Naperville Fire Department Juvenile Firesetter Intervention Program (Y-Fire) educates children and parents about the dangers of fire play activity. Team members have received specialized training to work with children who are between 2 and 17 years of age with a specific incident of fire play. The program is confidential, and the team remains focused on identifying and educating youth within the Naperville area in an effort to prevent repeat behavior.
