Lori Kneebone-Karst had no idea women could be career firefighters— until she met a woman already doing it. She set out to be visible ever since.

Kneebone-Karst retired from MFD last month. Read her career highlights on the #MFDBlog : cityofmadison.com/fire/blog/2024…

Today was testing day for Class 61, but some of the did not need to take the test because they already have their certification. Those recruits took part in a community day of service instead! They helped the East Madison Community Center paint classrooms and organize storage.

Please join us in wishing Lt. Holloway all the best in retirement!
