Newtown Square Fire Company

Newtown Square Fire Company Founded 1916. Our long and proud tradition of volunteer fire service began in 1916. This coverage population expands greatly during the workday.

Our Mission is to provide prompt and effective fire, rescue and fire police services to the residents of Newtown Township and Willistown Township on a continuous basis by a highly qualified group of trained individuals. From then until now citizens of Newtown Township have responded when the call for help was sounded. Whether a gong hit by a hammer of 1916, or an alert pager of today to communicat

e that there is an emergency, the spirit of helping neighbors in time of need has not changed. What is significantly different since those early days is the dimensions of the emergencies being faced. As contrasted with the barn fires of the past, today's fire fighter must deal with vehicle entrapment, hazardous materials, high angle rescue, and many other situations that were never even thought about by our founders. To deal with these emergencies and provide for the safety of the fire fighters, requires a high level of training, sophisticated equipment, personal protective gear and modern fire vehicles. Located near the center of town our current fire station (built in 1962) sits on the exact site of the original station. From this location we provide fire, rescue and fire police to Newtown Township and a select part of Willistown Township. Newtown Township is approximately 14.2 square miles and has a resident population of 12,216. Fire and other responses average 750 calls per year. A typical response for fire fighters can range from an automatic fire alarm, to a vehicle accident, to an elevator rescue, to a fully involved structure fire. Our fire company must be ready to deal effectively with these types of emergencies and more. People are the most important resource of any fire company. Fire fighter safety, training and retention are our top priority. Part of the formula to help make our personnel as effective as possible in performing their duties are the vehicles used by the fire fighters. In addition to delivering the fire fighters to the scene of the emergency, a modern fire truck not only pumps water or foam on flames at a high volume, but also carries a wide array of tools and equipment. Newtown Square Fire Company has a fleet of vehicles which includes a fire police, command, engine/pumper, a rescue and a ladder truck which are configured to handle multiple types of emergencies.

When it rains it pours, even on sunny days. Members of the Newtown Square Fire Company responded to three back-to-back-to-back calls Saturday morning.

The first incident involved a vehicle rollover on Church Road, just past Valley Forge Road, near the edge of Easttown Township. As crews were finishing up at the scene, they were dispatched to assist Edgmont Fire Company with a separate call in the 3900 block of Providence Road. While en route, they were redirected to a brush fire several blocks away in Willistown Township.

The Edgmont incident was determined to be an electrical issue with a water heater. Chief 64 requested Goshen Fire Company to assist Engine 64 with the situation.

The second Edgmont engine, 64-1, was originally heading to the water heater call but was redirected to the brush fire in Willistown Township. Engine 54 from Goshen Fire Company also left the Edgmont scene to supply additional water for the brush fire in Willistown.

This series of calls required a rapid response from multiple fire companies and mutual aid partners. An hour and a half after the first call came in, Chief Chris Young of Company 41 announced that all agencies were available for service.

The afternoon was not that quiet either. The fire company responded to Farrier Lane for an automatic fire alarm, and an assist to Radnor Fire Company at St David's Country Club in Tredyffrin Township for a dryer fire.

Meet our Members! 🚒

Each week, we want to take some time to recognize our volunteers who dedicate their time to the Newtown Square Fire Company.

Next up- Doug Simpson!

Doug joined as a member in December of 1989. Since joining Doug has served as Chief, Deputy, Captain, Lieutenant, and is currently the 1st Vice President.

Doug decided to volunteer because of family and friend, to help the community, and career aspects.

Outside of the fire company, Doug is a Career Lieutenant Firefighter/Paramedic with Berwyn Fire Company. He is also a Flight Paramedic with PennSTAR (Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania).

While Doug had too many favorite firehouse memories to name, he would say to anyone who is considering becoming a volunteer, “Follow your dreams! No greater feeling then help others in their most serious of times.”

Interested in becoming a volunteer? Fill out an application from our website, send an email to [email protected], or just stop by the station for more information!
