NGFD Divisions

When the terrain gets tough and lives are on the line, NGFD’s Search & Rescue team is called into action. Specializing in locating and retrieving missing or endangered individuals, our SAR unit combines advanced training, specialized equipment, and unwavering dedication to save lives when every second counts. 

Behind every skilled firefighter is a foundation built through rigorous training and experience. The NGFD Training Division ensures all members are prepared for the field, providing hands-on instruction, scenario-based exercises, and continuous education under the leadership of seasoned trainers. 

Safety starts with prevention. The Fire Marshal’s Office oversees inspections, investigations, and community education to reduce fire risks across Guilford County. Through proactive enforcement and detailed fire cause analysis, this division helps safeguard lives, property, and our department’s future.
