BRIDGETON -- A South Jersey fire department is receiving more than $100 million in SAFER funding from the Department of Homeland Security.

The Bridgeton Fire Dept. is receiving the money, which was announced Wednesday by U.S. Representative Frank LoBiondo. The money will help recruit, train and retain the firefighters, and keep them safer while performing their everyday dangerous duties.

Officials at the department say they are ecstatic about the grant.

"It's going to be a tremendous boost to our staffing and to the service we can provide to the citizens of Bridgeton," said Chief David Schoch.

The SAFER program awards approximately $420 million in competitive grants to local fire departments, specifically for the recruitment and retention of volunteer and professional firefighters.

Thursday, February 3, 2011 A Jersey City fire truck got stuck in a sinkhole Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
