Firefighter Steven Solomon (Atlanta Fire) has died in the line of duty just past 01:00hrs this date.

Dear Friends and Neighbors:
You may have seen on the news that Steven died last night. He joins an honored group of firefighters who have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving the City of Atlanta. Steven is the 57th Atlanta firefighter to die in the line of duty.
Please keep Steven's wife Kennetha and their four children in your prayers as well as our fire department families in both Atlanta and Macon. This will be a difficult time as we plan on a proper memorial for our fallen brother while maintaining a high quality of service to our city.  Funeral arrangements will be forwarded when available. If you would like to help us to support the Solomon family, donations can be made to the Steven Solomon Memorial Fund at any Wachovia Bank. It is listed under the account title of the Firefighters Emerald Society. It is account #2000034959565.  At this time, I do not know if the fundraiser at the Park Tavern will still be held on Saturday. We will know when the funeral arrangements are complete.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support of Atlanta firefighters.

Lieutenant  JD Hill of the Marietta Fire Department had Gallbladder Surgery this morning at Kennestone Hospital. Everything went okay and he should be released sometime tomorrow. He is in room 682. That's all we have at this time. Keep JD and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
