Lorain Receives SAFER Grant To Rehire 22 Firefighters
Lorain will receive a federal SAFER grant worth about 3.1 million dollars to restore all 22 laid off firefighters for two years. Mayor Chase Ritenauer Fire Chief Tom Brown and Local 267 President Ken Shawver announced during a videoconference with U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur. The move follows a 3.6 million city budget shortfall tied to a weakening steel industry and will aid slower response times by restoring staffing.
