Check Out New Raleigh Fire News Issue!

Our September 2025 edition of the Raleigh Fire News is now available. Check it out!

Here's a glance at its content:

• There is one place that rises to the top when firefighters are asked about their favorite training facility. Several members of the Raleigh Fire Department have completed training courses there and brought their learnings back to Raleigh.
• The Raleigh Fire Department is launching a new initiative to promote our firefighters' health and well-being. RFD firefighters now have access to free, voluntary health screening. It's designed to catch potential issues early, when treatment is most effective. From cardiovascular risks to organ health, a screening can reveal key information. Learn more!
• Lithium-ion batteries power our phones, e-bikes, power tools, and even some vehicles. They're powerful, convenient, and rechargeable. But if not used properly, they can become dangerous. This year's Fire Prevention Week will be held Oct. 5-11, and it focuses on lithium-ion batteries. Learn how RFD is bringing attention to this topic at various Fire Prevention Week events!
• September is National Preparedness Month. Our Fire Chief Herbert Griffin answers the question, "If we could only do a few things to get ready for a disaster, what should they be?"
• See who at RFD recently retired or received a promotion - congratulations!
