Newtown Fire Rescue

With the impending extreme heat hitting this week the Newtown Township Administration Building and Newtown Fire Rescue Station 45 will open to residents as a refuge from the heat. The Township building will be open from 8 AM to 4:30 PM at 100 Municipal Drive Newtown, PA 18940 (July 1 and July2) and Station 45 will be open from 6 AM to 6 PM at 14 Liberty Street, Newtown, PA 18940. Station 45 may be unoccupied if you stop by because firefighters are responding to incidents, but they will return. Our firefighters are on duty every day from 6 AM to 6 PM; residents can stop by anytime during working hours in addition to the offering of refuge during the heatwave. If you have any questions please contact 215-968-2800 x255 and for any emergencies call 911 immediately.
