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.
It’s replacement is a $700,000, 2,500 gallon pumper-tanker, fully computerized. Epley and two other members of the department, Brent Dirmeyer and Andy Badertscher will be on their way to Nebraska on Sunday where the truck is ready for pick up.
