ATLANTA — Firefighters on Saturday participated in fire rescue competitions, known as Musters, during the 2015 Fire in the 4th festival.

The festival commemorates the Great Atlanta Fire of 1917. That fire, which began just after noon on May 21, 1917, burned more than 300 acres in the Old Fourth Ward section of Atlanta.
