ATLANTIC CITY---30 Atlantic City public servants are anxious to return to work after being laid off 6 months ago.
The Atlantic City Fire Department is expected to rehire 28 firemen and 2 women fire fighters but it's unclear when they will get back to work. Monday, the process to rehire began which included lots of paper work for people to fill out. However, officials are hopeful that they can place the firefighters at stations as soon as possible.
Battalion Chief Joe Rush said, "They all have to get finger printed again that could be a week or two, I've been told it could move relatively quickly, also been told medical paperwork could move quickly so I don't anticipate it will take a long time but it could take 2-3 weeks."
The safer grant recently awarded to Atlantic City Fire Department made the day possible and will also allow the recruitment of 21 additional firefighters. The grant totals 9.7 million dollars.
