Newtown Township is seeking parity in its fire services bill, with the borough expected to vote on the agreement at its April meeting. This comes after a period of uncertainty over the borough's share of the bill as the township has transitioned from a non-paid volunteer force to a full-time, paid department. The agreement would provide the borough with $275,000 for full time fire protection services for the balance of 2026. However, some residents have argued that the issue is not negotiations but a simple parity - all pay the same.
