December 7th is the 75th anniversary of the Winecoff Hotel fire that killed 119 people, shook Georgia to its roots and inflicted much lasting misery - but ultimately impacted fire safety codes around the world for the good.
One of the few living Winecoff fire survivors has agreed to be interviewed for 75th anniversary stories. Richard Hamil was nine years old when he was trapped on the fifteenth floor of the burning hotel and was saved by a perilous rescue mission. Contact: Winecoff Fire co-author Sam Heys.
