Mass. fire department awarded grant to hire more firefighters

The grant, which was submitted to the city in August 2012, covers salaries and benefits for three years

BOSTON — The Beverly City Council voted unanimously this week to approve a $556,000 grant for the Beverly Fire Department to hire four new firefighters, in turn boosting the department's staff, which has been insufficiently low for several years.

The new recruits will work for two years. If veterans are hired, they are eligible to apply for a waiver to work an additional year.

Ward 2 City Councillor Wes Slate said the entire Council is pleased with the decision. "It was certainly a no-brainer," Slate said. "It's good news all around."
