On May 10, 1931 at the Lahaska Methodist Church, a special meeting was held and a petition was presented from 144 residents pledging their support to form a fire company. Each person pledged an entrance fee of $3.00 and annual dues of $2.00. George VanOrden served as the Provisional Chairman of the meeting. Also at the meeting, Executive Officers and a Board of Trustees were elected. George VanOrd

en appointed both an equipment committee and a By-Laws and Constitution committee. It was also at this meeting that those in attendance voted to name this new organization the Midway Volunteer Fire Company. The first regular meeting of the Midway Volunteer Fire Company was held on June 4, 1931 at the Lahaska Methodist Church. It was at this meeting that the membership approved the purchase of the first fire truck, which was a White Chemical Truck from the Humane Fire Company of Norristown. Member George Sotter lent the fire company $250.00 so that it could buy the truck. An agreement to pay the remaining $250.00 in 90 days time to the humane Fire Company was also signed. The fire truck was left in Lahaska that night in the care of the first Fire Chief, George Davis. The last item of business conducted at this meeting was the adoption of the By-Laws and Constitution. On June 8, 1931, an application for incorporation was filed with Bucks County Court of Common Pleas. This application was officially entered into the court records on July 18, 1931. In August of 1931 the very first fund raising carnival was held on August 27th, 28th and 29th. This carnival is still is being held more than 75 years later. The fire company purchased the first personal protective equipment for the firefighters in September of 1931.

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness have protected the freedoms we enjoy every day.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, let us never forget those who gave everything in service to our nation. We also extend our gratitude to all veterans, active military personnel, and first responders who continue to serve our communities with honor.

From all of us at Midway Volunteer Fire Company, we wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Our thoughts are with our Brothers and Sisters of Point Pleasant Vol. Fire Co. and the Bucks County Department of Communications and Butch’ family.

It is with deep regret and heavy hearts that the Officers and Members of the Point Pleasant Fire Company, alongside the Bucks County Department of Communications, announce the passing of Life Member, Past Chief, and veteran Dispatcher Ronald "Butch" Wood (Dispatcher 108), who passed away on May 5, 2026.
​"Butch" was a cornerstone of the Bucks County public safety community for decades. His transition from the fire line as Fire Chief to the dispatch center as "108" represented a lifetime of dedication to the protection of his neighbors. Whether he was commanding a scene or serving as the calm voice on the other end of the radio, his commitment to service was unwavering.
