The Champagne Bulldog was assigne to 19 in the late 70's between Sept of 76 and March of 79 when I lived in Atlanta. Check with Dave Williams he lived in Orme Park and was quite familiar with 19. I believe Big John Penningtonm was the House Captian at the time. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

I got permission to post these photographic scans of Atlanta Fire Station 11 taken with a 35 mm Pentax camera in B&W. Photo credit goes to Rafael A. Garcia. He took these in 1974 as a Georgia Tech photography class project titled "A Night Owl".

Good B/W's, reminds me of our old No. 11's house. That is a 4 inlet multi-versal ground monitor.
