Health officials expect coronavirus to peak in the next two weeks, but staying home isn't an option for law enforcement or firefighters. The Greensboro Fire Department is still on the front lines responding to calls in the community. One of the most important tools helping firefighters continue to do their jobs while protecting themselves from the virus is personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as PPE. Greensboro Fire Chief Bobby Nugent says they are following the guidelines outlined in the department's infectious control policy. There are currently four firefighters to a truck. When they arrive on a call only two of them will leave the truck to assess the situation while keeping the required social distance at six feet. If the patient is COVID-19 positive or showing symptoms then the firefighters will suit up in protective gear.
