Forsyth County Fire Department Launches Official Facebook Page for Public Safety Outreach

The Forsyth County Fire Department launched an official Facebook page on Feb. 13, 2026, the county announced in a mid-February news post, saying the new account is intended to improve resident communications and public-safety outreach. The county described the move as part of its ongoing effort to use social media for emergency information and community engagement.

County promotional material encouraged residents to follow and interact with the new Fire Department page to receive safety tips, notices about local events and other updates. The promotional fragment urged users to “follow and interact with Forsyth County Fire Department” to get timely information, framing the page as a direct channel for safety guidance and event notices for Forsyth County neighbors.

Forsyth County’s social media links page lists an extensive network of department accounts and shows how the Fire page will fit into broader county outreach. The county-wide presence includes Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Vimeo and YouTube for Forsyth County itself, and emergency services entries list EMS (Facebook; Twitter), 911 (Facebook; Twitter) and Fire (Facebook). Volunteer fire departments named on the county page include Belews Creek (Facebook; Twitter), King (Facebook; Twitter; Instagram), Piney Grove (Facebook; Twitter) and Walkertown (Facebook), among others.

The county news post excerpt contains a truncated sentence, “The county framed the new social-media channel as an addit”, and the announcement did not include an exact Facebook handle, a posting schedule, follower metrics or an attributed quote from the Fire Chief or a county spokesperson. The public notice was dated to mid-February 2026; the county’s promotional copy and the social links page corroborate that the Fire account is being added to an existing roster of emergency and public-safety social channels.

The new Fire Department Facebook page will join other emergency-adjacent accounts the county lists, such as the Forsyth County Incident Management Team (Facebook), Forsyth County Community Emergency Response Team (Facebook), Piedmont Emergency Animal Response Team (Facebook), Ready Forsyth (Facebook; Twitter) and the Forsyth County Opioid Task Force (Facebook). Forsyth County’s library, parks, public health and sheriff’s office also operate Facebook and Instagram feeds, indicating the Fire page is part of a countywide social-media strategy that already reaches residents on multiple platforms.

Forsyth County’s announcement emphasizes immediate access to safety tips and event information through the Fire Department’s Facebook page, while leaving specifics, exact page URL, moderation policy and content cadence, to be published separately. The addition places the county Fire account alongside dozens of department and volunteer-unit pages that the county identifies as its channels for public communication.
