VIDEO: The Greensboro Fire Department has released a plan to build 11 new fire stations across the city in response to the city’s growth.
This comes after announcements like Boom Supersonic and JetZero operating in Greensboro.
Deputy Chief of the Greensboro Fire Department Dwayne Church says the fire department prides itself on quick response times, and the city has the highest and most elite insurance services office rating, which means lower fire insurance premiums for homeowners.
“Our standard is we want the first unit to arrive at any house in the city of Greensboro in four minutes,” Church said.
Church says that with areas in the city quickly developing, some spots could face longer response times.
“We overlay our entire city with what we call diamonds, and we have those diamonds that have a response area of about a mile and a half in each direction so that we know that we can meet our standard recovery and have our first unit there within four minutes travel time,” Church said.
