East Providence, RI, Delays Follow Up on SAFER Grant

“More than 10 months after the matter first came before the city council, a final decision has yet to be made on whether or not the city should move forward with a federal grant designed to increase a community’s firefighter ranks.”

The East Providence Post is reporting that the city manager is concerned about the long-term effects of hiring firefighters via a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant.
