Fire Territory Expanding In Madison County

As expected, eight local governmental units have agreed to expand the South Madison Fire Territory.
Representatives from all eight units of government voted unanimously Monday to expand the territory to cover four townships comprising the southern portion of Madison County, including the towns of Pendleton, Lapel, Ingalls and Markleville. Adams Township, Stony Creek Township, Markleville, Lapel and Ingalls were all looking to form a new South Madison Fire Territory starting in January 2026.
