The Great Atlanta Fire of 1917 was one of the most significant disasters in the history of our city. The fire, which stretched from Edgewood Avenue to Ponce de Leon Avenue, consumed 300 acres and destroyed over 1,900 businesses, churches, and homes. Beginning at 9:20 am on May 21, 2012, watch the drama unfold as we post real-time descriptions, accounts, and images of the fire throughout the day.
