Greensboro Fire Department Annual Report 2022-23

Firefighter Friday a Huge Success As part of our mission to provide educational opportunities to communities throughout the city, in 2022 we hosted Firefighter Friday, a program to reach young people in southeast Greensboro with a fun and interactive experience. At Firefighter Friday, the Emergency Services and Fire and Life Safety divisions demonstrated the firefighters’ jobs and taught fire safety. We set up a miniature obstacle course, including a section with a hose line attached to a fire truck. Other stations provided materials such as coloring books and smoke alarms to help reduce the community’s fire risk. The staff also cooked and served more 200 hot dog meals as a thank you to participants. Due to the success of the first event, Firefighter Friday will be held twice a year at different City park locations.
