This was the scene last night on Marietta St in downtown #Atlanta as Squad 4 was attempting to respond to multiple vehicles on fire next to a large hotel. Please do not block fire vehicles. It could mean the difference between life and death for someone in need. #AFRD

Did you know Georgia law requires you to remove your car from the road if it’s been involved in a minor traffic accident with no injuries? Don’t tie up traffic – move over to the shoulder & wait for police. Know the law & help us keep traffic flowing. #MySafeATL #ATLTraffic
