Madison Fire Seeks Community Input During Hiring Process

The Madison Fire Department is hiring its next class of Firefighter/EMT recruits, and community involvement is an important part of the process!

The department is seeking community members to be a part of interview panels during its 2026 Firefighter/EMT Combined Oral Board process. Community members serve alongside active MFD members to ask interview questions and provide feedback to hiring authorities.

These Combined Oral Board interviews will take place the week of July 6 at the Protective Services Building of Madison College (1701 Pearson Street). The daily time commitment will be 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The number of days will depend on the number of candidates who advance to this stage of the hiring process.

All panelists will attend interview bias training the morning of Monday, July 6 before the process begins.

Interested community members should submit an email of interest to Division Chief of Hiring & Promotions David Crossen at [email protected].

This is a chance to be a part of a very important step in selecting next class of Firefighter/EMTs serving our community!
