After over three decades of service, Madison's fire chief is retiring, with his last day coming April 1, 2022.
Chief Steven Davis wrote about his retirement in a blog post, which in part reads:
"When I was appointed Fire Chief on January 2, 2012, I made a promise to the organization, to the community, to my family, and to myself that I would serve to the best of my ability and with honor and dignity for 10 years. My time has come and I feel like I have fulfilled that promise.”
Davis has been part of the department well before his stint as chief; he began back in August 1989 as a firefighter recruit. Since then, Davis held a number of titles, including paramedic, training officer, lieutenant and division chief.
