Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed on Wednesday praised the city’s police and firefighters for their response to last month’s I-85 bridge collapse, one day before a handful of the first responders are expected to be congratulated by President Donald Trump in Washington. “There is no doubt in my mind that the quick response and split second decisions of all of these officers saved countless lives,” Reed said in a ceremony held in the Old Council Chambers at Atlanta City Hall. “You want heroes? In my opinion we have a whole bunch of heroes with us in this room today.”
