MADISON — A Madison Fire/Rescue member resigned Saturday after posting derogatory racial remarks on Facebook.
A reader emailed a screen shot of the offending post, which was allegedly made by a man named Kyle DaRosa. The screen shot of the Facebook page said DaRosa was an EMT with Madison Fire Rescue & Emergency Management.
