VIDEO: The City of Madison has named Brandy Williams as its next fire chief. The Madison City Council voted to appoint Williams as chief during its regular meeting Monday. Williams was also sworn in during the meeting. Williams had been serving as the cityโs acting fire chief since former Chief David Bailey left the department in February. Before her stint as acting chief, Williams served as the departmentโs deputy chief. But what makes it even more special is that she is the first female fire chief the city has ever had. โItโs an honor and a great opportunity that the city has given me to lead this department, and itโs pretty amazing,โ said Williams. Chief Williams has lived a life of service. โMy mother tells me that from the age of two, I said that I was going to be a fire chief,โ she said.
