GFD Annual Report 2021-2022

New Strategy The 2021-2022 fiscal year was the first year of the Greensboro Fire

YEAR IN REVIEW

Department’s 2021-2026 Strategic Plan. Developed through a community driven process, the plan has established our framework for the future. The plan adopted a new mission and vision and is a guide on how to best meet the community’s needs as the demand for emergency response, prevention, and education services increase in Greensboro.

New Equipment In January, the department replaced its aging defibrillators with 42 new Zoll Automated External Defibrillators. The new models give rescuers real-time, integrated audio and visual feedback to perform high-quality CPR. All staff has been trained on the new equipment, which is deployed across the department’s fleet. In May, Engine 8 was replaced by a 2022 Sutphen Pumper, a model designed specifically for the rigors of industrial and petrochemical firefighting. The former Engine 8, a 1999 model, will serve as a reserve engine for the city. As part of our recruitment program, the new Engine 8 is the first of many fleet vehicles to receive a QR code on the door, which links to job opportunities open to our residents.
