Thursday morning, we were doing one of our Elm Street strolls when we moved over to make way for a fire truck responding to a call. Later, as we were continuing our walk, we saw the team heading back to the station house.

Fire Station No. 4 was first built in 1905 on Asheboro Street. In 1962, it was relocated to 401 Gorell Street. They gained the distinction of being Greensboro’s first station with African-American firefighters (reference HERE). Station No. 4 is the closest to downtown, so they are frequently seen working the beat and we are grateful! After taking this photo, we got a cheerful wave. Thank you, first responders.

Happy Saturday!
