Captain Wendy Cheek will be retiring from the Greensboro Fire Department after 30 years on the job. When Cheek joined the department, she was a bit of a pioneer as a woman in the fire department. Check out this feature on Capt. Cheek from WFMY https://t.co/MpEYMKHWXQ

We had a great time working with our brothers and sisters at the Greensboro Fire Department for today's April Fools Day shoot! They joked and made fun of us and of course, we got in on the action.

Now, we'll get back to Dunkin' and I think y'all have a yard to go mow. Right?

#GrowingInGCS | Emil Peprah, a student at Allen Middle, put on a firefighter jacket and helmet at the college and career fair. You can see how excited he became, with the jacket symbolizing his aspirations. You could be looking at a future Guilford County firefighter. 🚒

We've reopened the store!

Due to the high demand for shirts and apparel for Sgt. Nix, the Carolina Sports memorial store has reopened for FOUR DAYS ONLY for you to purchase gear. All proceeds go directly to the Nix family during their time of need.
