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.

WILDWOOD -- A local firefighter is being hailed as a hero after saving a woman from a fast moving house fire Sunday night.

Mike Barth, a firefighter from Rio Grande, was off duty and driving home when he came across a duplex on the 400 block of West Taylor Avenue where a fire broke out around 7:30pm. While the other occupants from the second floor were able to make it out safely, Barth stepped in to help a woman on the first floor where the flames had started.

"I looked over and there was smoke coming out of the house and she was on the porch in shock. And I just did what anybody would do and try to help. My training kicked in and it just overtook me," says Barth.

The fire was brought under control in about twenty minutes, but the duplex has since been deemed uninhabitable.
