Frequently Asked Questions

How can I help Newtown Hook & Ladder?

The greatest contribution you can make to the company, and to our community, is to join. We are an all-volunteer organization consisting of concerned and caring residents of the community, just like you. We each volunteer our time to help protect people and property during a fire or disaster.

We are always looking for dedicated individuals who are not afraid to get involved and get dirty when the time comes. Of course, if your time is not available, your support is always welcome.


How old do I have to be to join?

You must be 18 years old to be a full member of the fire company. Junior members, age 16 years and over may become limited members of the company.


How do I join?

If you work or reside within the town of Newtown and are available for fire department calls and evening / weekend training sessions, stop by the station and fill out an application.


The Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God
Wherever Flames may rage
Give me the strength to save some life
Whatever Be its age.

Help me embrace a little child
Before it is too late
Or save an older person from
The horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert and
Hear the weakest shout
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling and
To give the best in me
To guard my every neighbor
And protect their property.

And if according to your will
I have to lose my life
Please bless with your protecting hand
My children and my wife.
