The firefighters of Madison's Fire Station 6 on West Badger Road are looking to beautify the station with original works by a local artist using repurposed station materials.
Two wooden boards once used to display maps inside the apparatus bay are ready for a new life. Fire Station 6 invites local artists to submit their vision for a community mural, using one or both of these repurposed boards, to depict the diversity of Madison's south side and/or to draw from the theme "Unity through Community."
About Fire Station 6
Fire Station 6 is proud to be a part of Madison's south side neighborhoods, serving from W. Badger Road. Four firefighter/EMTs and two firefighter/paramedics staff the station 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The crews at Station 6 have been longtime supporters of the Southside Raiders football team, and Ladder 6 dons the team's emblem on the side of their fire truck. Members of Sable Flames, the non-profit association of Black MFD firefighters, provide volunteer EMT services at Raiders football games. Additionally, Ladder 6 is a yearly participant in the annual Juneteenth parade. The firefighters routinely volunteer their time at the Urban League of Greater Madison and serve dinners at the Catholic Multicultural Center.
