The Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) is a federal grant created to provide funding directly to fire departments to help increase or maintain the number of trained, "front line" firefighters.
 
This is great news for the Fire District and for the community.  With this 100% FEMA funded grant (wages & benefits), we will be able to hire 3 more additional firefighters for Engine 2. We will now have 3 personal per engine company totaling 7 on-duty personal per day.
