Greensboro Fire Department 2024-25 Annual Report

From the Fire Chief

As we reflect on 2024-2025. I am reminded of the dedication and resilience of the men and women of the Greensboro Fire Department. This year brought significant challenges and achievements, all underscoring our unwavering commitment to serving the people of Greensboro. • Ongoing annexations on the city's outskirts have tested our ability to maintain our standard of cover. Growth brings opportunity but also demands careful planning and resources to ensure every resident receives the same rapid, professional response they deserve. • Following the devastation of Hurricane Helene, we deployed 61 members over the course of a month to assist with rescue and recovery efforts in Western North Carolina. Their compassion and professionalism reflected the true spirit of our department. • We also continue to advocate for maintaining four personnel on every apparatus-a critical standard that ensures we can safely and effectively perform the full range of duties expected on today's complex emergency scenes. Despite the challenges, our focus remains clear: to provide exceptional service, safeguard our community, and support our members. I am proud of our team's courage and professionalism and grateful for the continued support of our city leaders and residents. Together, we will continue to grow, adapt, and serve with excellence.
