The Delphos Firefighters Local 686 have received the green light from city administration to accept a large grant aimed to increase personnel numbers. Following an evening of extensive discussion with Delphos Fire & Rescue, Delphos City Council voted in favor by a 4-to-3 vote for the city's fire department to accept "The Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grant" or the SAFER Grant. The little over $1.8 million grant will provide Delphos Fire & Rescue funding to add 6 new full-time personnel over a 3-year time period. After council's approval, Delphos Fire personnel spoke with us on what this means for their department.
