GFD Command staff and Meals on Wheels volunteers after spending the morning visiting meal recipients. MEALS ON WHEELS PARTNERSHIP Each month on the fourth Friday, Greensboro Fire Department Command Staff partner with Meals on Wheels to deliver meals across our community. These visits go beyond food-they provide connection, check on residents' well-being, and show that our commitment extends beyond emergency response. Through this partnership, we strengthen trust and demonstrate that the Greensboro Fire Department is always here for our community, guided by our core values of professionalism, respect, trust, and integrity. SUMMER FIRE CAMPS In the summer of 2025, Camp Blaze (for boys) and Camp Spark (for girls) delivered hands-on firefighting experiences that sparked learning, leadership, and unforgettable memories. With the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and supporters, campers gained real-world skills, teamwork experience, and confidence in themselves.
