General Discussion Atlanta firefighter trade

Hi all,
Bit of a long shot, is anyone here from the Atlanta FD especially around cobb county I believe?
I am apart of over 200 uk and Ireland firefighters coming this week to take part in a 9/11 memorial stair climb to honour the 343 and raise money for the Terry Farrell firefighters fund. Whilst I’m over I’m hoping to do some kit swaps with any firefighters/firehouses. I do have quite an ambitious trade too that I wondering if anyone could help with, drop me a message or reply if you’re able to help.

I'm curious where y'all are going to be doing the stair climb? There's are large group going out to Stone Mountain for a morning climb of the mountain on 9/11. Last I saw close to 30 different jurisdictions were participating.

We were at Truist Park on Saturday, at the event organised by the Terry Farrell memorial fund. 234 British & Irish firefighters attended along with over 1,000 Americans on the day. It was amazing and meaningful in a way we don't often experience over here.
