VIDEO: Atlanta Fire Rescue held its annual Station 16 Holiday Party Saturday, welcoming more than 400 children to the station for festive activities, live music, a meal and gifts.
“Before the red lights go off, we try to get to know as many people as we can and, more importantly, let them get to know the firefighters because I feel when we respond out to a call, if we know the people, you get a different outcome,” AFRD Chief Roderick Smith said.
Station 16 has hosted a holiday party since 1963, and it has become one of the department’s most cherished events.
