A large crowd showed up Sunday morning for the annual Atlanta Volunteer Fire Department breakfast fundraiser. The department is a highly respected and much appreciated component of the Atlanta community. Each year, the community supports the department through this and other fundraisers. Money gained is in turn used to purchase equipment and what is needed to keep the firefighters at the top of their game.
