The Winecoff Hotel Fire with Janet Cox, Sam Heys, and Allen B. Goodwin 

On December 7, 1946 at 3:42 a.m. the first alarm came into Atlanta Fire Department headquarters: "The Winecoff Hotel is on fire!" For the next two hours, everything good, bad, improbable, and certain about the human experience played out. Few events in history can match the Winecoff Fire for extremes. 

In this program, Janet Cox, daughter of survivor Dorothy Moen Cox, and the authors of the book, The Winecoff Fire, will be on hand to discuss both the personal and historical significance of this Atlanta tragedy that happened on December 7, 1946.
