The Forsyth County Fire Department operates as the county's fire marshal division, based at 3000 Aviation Drive in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Rather than running as a single large suppression department, it coordinates fire and rescue protection across the county and provides training and support services to the fire and rescue departments in the region.
The division's responsibilities include fire prevention, inspections, plans review and permitting, arson and fraud investigation, and management of the county's 911 communications center. It also provides fire protection for Smith Reynolds Airport.
Forsyth County is served by more than a dozen volunteer and municipal fire departments, including agencies in Kernersville, Lewisville, Clemmons, and Winston-Salem, which the county office helps support and coordinate.
