Here are the top three stories today in Madison:

1. Madison Fire Chief Steven Davis has retired after more than 32 years of service. Davis began his career as a firefighter on the city's north side on Aug. 21, 1989. He held many roles throughout his stay at the Madison Fire Department. "My favorite time in my career was the time I was a paramedic," Davis said. "Every day it brought a new challenge, and it was fun to make such a difference in somebody's living room each and every day." (WMTV – NBC15)
2. A Madison squad car was involved in a two-car crash on Friday afternoon at East Washington Avenue. Madison police responded to the intersection of East Washington Avenue and Fair Oaks Avenue. There were no official reports of injuries and the incident is still developing. (WKOW)
