On Friday evening 21 February 1913, a group of local residents and property owners of Centre Square, Blue Bell, Belfry and nearby points in Whitpain Township and adjoining areas met in the large banquet hall of the Centre Square Hotel owned by Mr. Charles H. Spaeth to discuss and explore the possibilities of the establishment of a fire company.

The subject received favorable consideration, a resolution was offered by Mr. C. Harry Danenhower calling for a town meeting in the Odd Fellow’s Hall on Thursday evening 27 February 1913 at 8 PM to organize a fire company. The resolution was adopted and posters ordered printed announcing the meeting. These posters were probably printed by the Ambler Gazette which did the early printing for the company since the minutes frequently directed an order be drawn in payment to the Editor of the Gazette.

At the 14 September 1913 meeting the outside shed in the rear of the garage of the Centre Square Hotel was ordered rented and converted into a proper building for housing of the fire apparatus. This building was also to be used as a meeting place. A uniform was adopted to consist of a cap, blouse and necktie and was to be paid for by the individual members.
