History of the Atlanta Fire Dept.

Charlie Cart crews posing at Peachtree Street and International Blvd. on the afternoon before the Olympic Park Bombing. This was the central staging area for the Charlie crews. I have no idea why we used the term "Charlie". <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shrug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Randy wise was the EMS Logistics officer at the time. He was a Viet Nam Veteran and used terms like "Checkpoint Charlie" all the time. I think it was his idea.
