Atlanta fire station closed temporarily
Fire Station 23 at 1545 Howell Mill Road N.W. is closed due to a faulty electrical system.
Much of the wiring in the building is original and dates back to the station’s construction in 1948. Repairs will include replacement of wires, breaker panels and the relocation of the power meter. The station’s Advanced Life Support engine and ALS emergency medical unit will be housed at Station 8, 1711 Marietta Boulevard, during repairs.
“Repairs are expected to be complete in a month, and during this time we will continue to respond to emergencies in the area quickly and safely,” said Fire Chief Joel Baker.
