Greensboro Fire Department (GFD) Station 10 is located at 4208 West Gate City Boulevard. According to the fire department’s website, “the GFD exists for one purpose- to serve people in times of emergency, which is the core function of local government. The GFD is devoted to leaving a positive impact on our community.” With respect to positive community impact, the GFD is always ready to participate in events that provide visibility to the fire department and to engage with the community. The above photo shows when they were set up downtown during Fun Forth with a water station to help people cool off from the heat. Children took great joy in running in and out of the water spray. Even a few canines enjoyed getting a wet.

The support staff of the GFD focuses on fire prevention and education. They also recruit and train existing personnel. Maybe someday, children will be future recruits because of the positive relationships built while attending with firemen and fire trucks.
