Elyria will reinstate fourteen laid off firefighters as it uses a federal Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response grant to fund salaries and benefits for 23 personnel over two years. Fire Chief Rich Benton says the move allows all three stations to reopen Sunday with shifts of 18 or more, restoring morale after a year of cuts.
