BENEFIT ATL'S OLDEST FIREHOUSE9October is National Fire Safety Month! A
portion of race & event proceeds will be donated to the Atlanta
Fire Foundation for the restoration of the Virginia Highland station

1925 historic landmark has resulted in termite damage to the staircase,
holes in the ceiling, and standing water in the station due to poor
drainage.
