Why this matters in The Atlanta
The swift response of the Roswell Fire Department in containing the fire at the UPS facility on Old Ellis Road prevented what could have been a catastrophic loss of property and disruption to the local economy. With the facility resuming operations quickly, the impact on package delivery and the livelihoods of UPS employees in the area was minimized.
