Massillon City Council has approved a new three-year deal with the city's Firefighters Local No. 251, which will include raises in the second and third years of the new contract, as well as modify when the First Responders can reach the Maximum Salary.

Both the City and the Firefighters were happy to avoid "binding arbitration" which would have taken the decision out of the hands of the city.

If you know a First Responder, you can nominate them, or your local Police or Fire Department, for WQMX First Responder Fridays, HERE
