History of the Atlanta Fire Dept.

[Shoe]

[quote name='firebuff55407' post='157758' date='Oct 22 2007, 19:53 ']In the 1960 Atlanta Fire Department History "Prompt to Action" it was reported that the Fulton County Fire Department opened its first station on June 27, 1931 in Buckland. It goes on to say that the Fulton County Fire Department had four stations that were taken over by the Atlanta Fire Department in the early 40s.[/quote]



OK, that could explain old Station #21. Stations #23 and #25 were built in 1948 as Fulton stations. The plaques earlier on this thread tell us that. What was the fourth? Could it have been #24 at the airport then known as Candler Field? I don't think it was #22 because it was build with WPA funds and is a twin to #18. There was a single bay station in Sandy Springs prior to the current station built in the 60's (Now SSFD #2). Could it have been the fourth???
