In 1916, all telephone cables connecting local wire stations were on poles and vulnerable to fire damage. Routes 3 and 252 was an important intersection of inter-office cables. A group of AT&T employees started the volunteer fire company to protect telephone cables and serve the community. Over a century later, volunteer members continue to operate the fire company, along with a small paid staff of firefighters to shorten our response times. In addition to Newtown and Willistown Townships, we assist neighboring communities in Delaware and Chester counties.
Firefighters and fire police respond to emergency calls for:
building, brush, electrical, and other fires
life-threatening medical emergencies
fire alarms
vehicle accidents, including victim extraction
downed trees and wires
pet rescues
Our community relies on us for:
fire prevention education
presence at events
important celebrations
holiday Santa drives
The cost of providing these services includes:
emergency vehicle maintenance
rescue apparatus
fire station building maintenance and mortgage
firefighter apparel and equipment
paid firefighter salaries
firefighter training
Our auxiliary and members spend many hours with fundraising:
annual community fund drive
biannual flea market and flower sales
BINGO at the firehouse
cooperating business donation events
Newtown Township helps defray the cost of replacing emergency vehicles. We also apply for all government and public grants. Each time we respond with a firetruck, the cost exceeds $1000. Imagine how your local property taxes would increase without our selfless volunteers.
Please help fund our services with your 501(c)(3) tax-deductible contribution today. Thank you!
