Bilingual Staff Assist Residents This year, the department expanded the number of staff members who are able to assist in speaking Spanish to residents while on calls for service. Four Fire Department employees who have knowledge and ability to communicate in a language other than English have passed the City’s required testing for bilingual staff members. Another seven staff members who have submitted their request to be added to this bilingual team are scheduled for the required testing. IN THE COMMUNITY

Community Donates $50K for New Equipment In the fall, the Kiwannis Club of Greensboro provided $50,000 to the Greensboro Fire Department. This donation will be paired with a donation from the Fanny Stuart Bain Living Trust to enable the purchase of a 27-foot Smart Fire Safety Training Trailer. This device will be used for teaching fire safety events throughout the city. The expected delivery date is fall 2023.
