What
We Do
Fire and Arson Investigation is a
complicated endeavor that requires a coordinated effort
between the City of Madison Fire Department and Police
Department. This cooperative arrangement joins the resources
of the fire and police departments to improve our Fire
Investigation, Arson Detection, and Arson Investigation
capabilities. |

Madison's
Joint Fire/Police Investigation Unit
Established
in 1976 |
|
The City of Madison Fire Department (MFD) Fire
Investigation Unit consists of three full time Fire/Arson
Investigators, who report to a MFD Division Chief. Madison
Fire Department Investigators are commissioned firefighters
