City officials have submitted a plan to the state to layoff Trenton firefighters if federal grant money is not awarded to the city, officials confirmed Monday.
Details of the plan were not immediately known Monday evening, but a city official confirmed that a layoff plan was sent to the state Civil Service Commission last week.
Fire Director Qareeb Bashir could not immediately be reached for comment, nor could Business Administrator Terry McEwen.
The city has a pending application with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response grant program, more commonly known as SAFER grants.
