26 Detroit firefighters rehired with $5.6 million grant
DETROIT — The Detroit Fire Department is beefing up its ranks, but it's still not enough to keep the public adequately safe, says Detroit Firefighters Association President Dan McNamara. Twenty-six firefighters, who were laid off on Aug. 10, will soon be rehired thanks to a $5.6 million federal grant.
"It's exciting," McNamara said. "We're at critical mass now and we need everybody back — and we need to hire more."
Based on the amount received, McNamara expects the department could afford to hire back 30 firefighters, 26 who were laid off and four who took other positions with the city in August.
