CHELSEA, Mich. — While other fire departments in Washtenaw County are cutting staff, Chelsea Area Fire Authority is adding six firefighters after being awarded a $545,664 federal Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response grant.

The SAFER grants were created to provide funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest organizations in order to help them increase the number of trained, "front line" firefighters available in their communities, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency Website.

The goal of SAFER is to enhance local fire departments’ abilities to comply with national staffing, response and operational standards.
