Atlanta's firefighters show up for us. Here's how to show up for them.

Meet your firefighters on a good day.

Most people only meet a firefighter on a hard day. Our members look forward to the other kind: time with neighbors, kids climbing on the engine, conversations that have nothing to do with an emergency.

Community drives

Collections that go straight to Atlanta neighbors, like our community clothing drive.

Fire safety and education

Hands-on learning for families, schools and neighborhood groups.

Career exploration

Meet firefighters and find out what a career in the fire service takes.

Labor hall gatherings

Events and workshops at our labor hall, Retired Station 22 on Hollywood Road.

2025 ยท Atlanta

Progressive Firefighters of Atlanta and Company 16 came together to donate clothes, shoes, blankets, and other essential items to a local shelter in the community we love and serve. A special thank you to Mayor Dickens for stopping by and even donating items himself.
