Greensboro Fire Department Fire Chief Bobby Nugent, shown here at the department's headquarters in Greensboro on Jan. 11, is retiring after 42 years with the department. "It's time," he said. "Time to let some other folks who have trained and worked hard come in and take the department to the next level. It's just time."
