Applications will be available online until Oct. 26. Funding for the openings comes from the city’s general fund, officials said.

The fire department has 791 firefighters, down from 209 since May 23 due to retirements, said Detroit Executive Fire Commissioner Don Austin.

In July of 2012, the city laid off 27 firefighters, but they returned a month later under a $22.5 million federal grant.
