The Burning Question: How Many Firefighters Keep Atlanta From Getting Toasty?
Ever wondered how Atlanta manages to stay so darn fire-proof? It's not just about all those delicious barbeque joints being extra careful (although, seriously, respect the flame!). The real heroes are the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department (AFRD), a crew of firefighting firefighters (who knew?) who keep the city safe. But how many fire stations does it take to keep this phoenix from burning?
Hold onto your hoses, folks, because the answer might surprise you!
There are actually 35 fire stations strategically placed throughout Atlanta, like a protective ring of fire-fighting fortresses. That's right, 35! That's more fire stations than there are places to get a decent cup of coffee at 3 am (although, let's be honest, firefighters probably aren't lining up for lattes after a night of saving lives).
But wait, there's more!
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.
Five of those 35 stations are actually located right at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, which makes perfect sense. You wouldn't want a plane full of tourists to get a bird's-eye view of a real-life airplane fire, would you? Those guys are prepared for anything, from flaming luggage mishaps to stopping runaway squirrels from chewing through airport wires (you never know!).
So, there you have it. 35 fire stations, keeping Atlanta safe and sound. Now, before you rush out and buy a fire truck for your backyard (because, let's face it, they're pretty cool), let's address some burning questions (pun intended).
