FROM ADA ICON - There’s a new truck coming to Ada next week. You’ll probably hear it as it comes into town.

Just ask Jay Epley, Ada-Liberty Township fire chief, about it. He says it’s a unique vehicle.

Thanks to the passage of a 1-mill fire levy on the November 2018 local ballot,  the local department will be able to retire its 1990 Big Mack Attack pumper.
