ATLANTA — Firefighters on Saturday participated in fire rescue competitions, known as Musters, during the 2015 Fire in the 4th festival.
The festival commemorates the Great Atlanta Fire of 1917. That fire, which began just after noon on May 21, 1917, burned more than 300 acres in the Old Fourth Ward section of Atlanta.
Todd DeFeo loves to travel anywhere, anytime, taking pictures and notes. An award-winning reporter, Todd revels in the experience and the fact that every place has a story to tell. He is the owner of The DeFeo Groupe and also edits Express Telegraph and Railfanning.org.
Metro Atlanta and much of North Georgia experienced the first white Christmas in nearly 130 years with more than an inch of snow accumulating throughout the area, according to the National Weather Service.
