Proudly providing quality Fire/Rescue/QRS coverage to Newtown Township and Newtown Borough

Newtown Fire Rescue is proud to announce the official swearing in of Firefighter/EMT Anthony Vaccaro and welcome him to our department.

Anthony was born and raised in Easton, Pennsylvania where his passion for the fire service began at an early age. He started his career as a volunteer firefighter before joining the City of Myrtle Beach Fire Department where he gained valuable professional experience serving the community.

Anthony has since returned home to Pennsylvania to be closer to family and brings with him the experience, dedication, and commitment to service that will make him a valuable addition to Newtown Fire Rescue.

We congratulate Firefighter/EMT Vaccaro on his swearing in and look forward to having him serve alongside the men and women of our department.

The Newtown Grant fire is currently under investigation by the Fire Marshal’s Office. Thank you to all of our firefighters and our mutual aid partners for their teamwork and dedication.

Today, Newtown Fire Rescue and Newtown Township proudly recognizes and celebrates the retirement of Firefighter/EMT Mike Bean after 28 years of dedicated service to our community.

Over nearly three decades, Mike has operated in many roles in our department including as a shift supervisor, and field training officer for new members of the department. Through countless calls, challenging incidents, and memorable moments, Mike has exemplified the commitment, professionalism, and selflessness that define the fire service.

His contributions have left a lasting impact on Newtown Fire Rescue and the residents we are privileged to serve. While his retirement marks the end of an extraordinary chapter, the legacy of his service and dedication will continue to inspire future generations of first responders. Mike is going to move on to continue his service to the community with the Bucks County Fire Marshal’s Office.

Congratulations on a well-earned retirement, Mike Bean!
