The city of Atlanta deserves a lot of praise for being able to restore Interstate 85 after just two months following the collapse of the bridge. A fire which destroyed the bridge made national news and the first responders were able to do their jobs and ensure no one was hurt in the incident. The Atlanta Falcons took notice of the local heroes and after the bridge was reopened, they decided the timing was right for some of the players to reach out to them by visiting the responding firehouses.
Wide receivers Julio Jones, Taylor Gabriel, Devin Fuller as well as center Alex Mack and fullback Derrick Coleman can all be seen in the video which the team released via their official Twitter account Monday morning as the players took photos with firefighters as well as delivered them dinner.
