Fire Companies Receive donation for horse rescue efforts
After a successful rescue of a horse from Pine Run, Doylestown and Point Pleasant Fire Companies were recognized by the Newtown Reliance Company
After hearing of the successful rescue of a horse from the Pine Run in Doylestown Township on April 15, 2013, the members of the Newtown Reliance Company wanted to recognize the efforts of Doylestown and Point Pleasant Fire Companies. The Newtown Reliance Company for the Detecting and Apprehending of Horse Thieves and Other Villains was founded in 1819, and has continued as a social organization that supports equine causes. Will Fabian, a director and volunteer firefighter for the Newtown Fire Association, said that the organization had a business meeting a few days after the rescue and decided to recognize both fire companies with a donation of $250 each.
