• Fire Damages Croydon Recovery Home (levittownnow.com) — A serious afternoon fire heavily damaged a recovery home in Bristol Township’s Croydon section, displacing seven residents but causing no civilian injuries. Fire crews from Bristol Township and surrounding companies battled flames fueled by propane tanks in intense heat, while the Red Cross and the home’s owner arranged new housing and essentials for the men who lived there. 
• Levittown man shot by police enters plea in first of 2 road rage cases (phillyburbs.com) — A Levittown man has pleaded guilty to traffic charges stemming from a violent July 2025 road rage crash investigated by Bristol Township police, while still jailed on a separate Bensalem case.

He remains in Bucks County jail on high bail and faces more serious charges later this month.
