Successful Reaccreditation Process Throughout Fiscal Year 2021-22, the department gathered data, prepared documents, and finalized paperwork needed for reaccreditation through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International. The process helps ensure best practices for high performing direct departments, including continuous improvement, data-supported decision-making, and alignment with community needs. Part of the reaccreditation included a May 2022 visit from a peer assessment team comprised of firefighters from across the United States. The team evaluated our department and left 20 recommendations for improvement over the next five years. It highly recommended Greensboro for reaccreditation, which was approved August 2022.
