Upcoming Recruitment Open Houses

There's still time to learn about what we do and to ask your questions!

This in-person open house takes place at our firehouse across the street from Camp Randall Stadium. Parking is available on Monroe Street and in the neighborhood. Hear about a day in the life of a Madison firefighter/EMT, tour the fire station, meet members of the MFD, and get your questions answered! Share this event on Facebook!

Virtual Open House for Women
Monday, June 10, 7:00-8:00 PM (Central)
Women are vastly underrepresented in fire/EMS. We are setting out to change that! In this affinity space, women can connect with other women currently serving the MFD, learn about the career, and find out why the Madison Fire Department stands out as a leader in the nation for employing women in fire/EMS. Advanced registration required! Register now.
