t the 26 February 2025 Newtown Township Board of Supervisors (BOS) public meeting, Elen Snyder, chairperson of the BOS, commended local firefighters for their response and life-saving efforts during a recent house fire in Lower Makefield Township.
An older couple who lived in the home was rescued and needed to be hospitalized due to fire-related injuries, according to reports.
“We couldn’t be prouder,” Snyder added. “It wasn’t even in our township, and they were the first ones there, so kudos to them.”
At public comment, resident Valerie Mihalek echoed the sentiment and recognized the two firefighters by name for their actions.
“I would like to echo the words of Supervisor Snyder in recognizing firefighter Michael Bradshaw and firefighter Quinnten Jones for their incredibly heroic efforts in going back in to save the woman who went back inside to save her pet,” Mihalek said.
Mihalek noted the assistance provided by passing trash haulers who spotted the blaze.
“The trash haulers who were driving by and went in and helped the one gentleman who was in a chairlift to get down the stairs,” she said.
