“Fire Station 19 is one of our neighborhood’s most historic and beloved treasures,” says Doc Chey’s owner Rich Chey. “We aim to bring the community together to not only enjoy the company but give back to an organization that has done so much for us.”

Fire Station 19 has been a city landmark for more than 90 years and is the city’s oldest re house. Although only basic repairs are needed and the station is in good structural condition, the City of Atlanta has put the station on the chopping block for 2016, unless the community can raise the necessary funds to renovate. To date, nearly $80,000 has been raised with an additional $220,000 necessary to keep No. 19 operating in a safe and e cient manner for another 50 years.
