History of the Atlanta Fire Dept.

[Shoe]

Atlanta City Council will have a final vote on August 18 for the funding to re-open Station #7. Word is that the place was ransacked after it was closed. Funding for the Squad is stalled. We are expecting a huge exodus of jakes from the ATL before the first of the year. Almost all companies are down to running with 3 most days. Not aware of any "brown-outs" yet, but it appears that they are coming.

The police department apparently has not been watching the news since they are still calling Station #7 and Squad #4 at morning roll-call. They have also dispatched Squad #4 on some fire calls since they have been closed. I've heard that Engine #6's crew jumped on the squad truck and went since it was dispatched. We are recording the multitude of dispatch errors in the hope that some day we can justify getting dispatch back. Stay tuned...
