Several metro Atlanta agencies are paying their respects Wednesday morning to fallen DeKalb County firefighter Preston Fant with a somber procession that will roll through metro Atlanta.

Just after 9 a.m., the procession left Fire Station No. 24 on Redan Road in DeKalb, where Fant served for about 21 years. Several DeKalb police motorcycles and SUVs helped lead the group.

A DeKalb spokesperson said the procession will go to the medical examiner’s office and eventually make its way across several county lines before ending at the West Cobb Funeral Home in Marietta.

While on the way, a Sandy Springs fire spokesperson said their apparatus will line the I-285 bridges at Roswell Road, Mount Vernon, Riverside Drive, Raider Drive and Northside Drive.
